For those people who spend tons of hours on the computer, especially on youtube this topic may interest you. I've been thinking a lot about what will happen to our popular youtubers that we know and love. Back in the day when youtube was a rather new site, there was a popular youtuber that went by the name Fred. Looking back at his videos he was super hilarious and produced good content, but eventually he had to move on from the youtube community and got a job in the acting industry. His first works were produced on the nickelodeon channel, with Fred the Movie 1 & 2. They were just like his youtube videos but put into the movie format, and placed on TV. Now he has had his own tv show, and has been the main character of a popular tv show, but sadly he no longer produces content on his youtube channel and has moved on in his life. I fear many of the very popular youtubers will be gone, and out of our hearts. Such as the ever so popular Ray William Johnson. He held the crown on YouTube for #1 most subscribed YouTube channel for quite awhile but as Ray changed, his content began to also. The internet is a harsh and cruel thing, so as Ray's content began to change, his subscribers unsubscribed and they moved on. Now I believe he is either the 4th or 5th most subscribed channel now. I have a feeling Ray will be leaving the YouTube community also, maybe not sooner than later, but definitely later. I do question where Smosh, Pewdiepie, and JennaMarbles are going but they are people, and eventually everyone passes away. (caution: the YouTube channels I have listed can be rather vulgar and inappropriate!) Though the time will be far down the road of their passings, it will come some day. But we should live in the now, and enjoy the videos they post weekly!
Do any of you have thoughts or ideas of the next YouTube generation?
