Can someone help me understand this?
I have 3 teenage daughters in my house and I hear names every once in a while in their conversation, and when I ask who they are it's "oh they are a Youtube star". So I decided to Google a few names and see what makes these people "celebrities".
Do you guys realize the COMPLETE dumb shit stuff these people do and film and put out there and have millions of subscribers and followers?? And they make millions of dollars doing this! Its mind boggling. I'm only 38 years old so I'm not OLD but this sort of thing stuns me. Some kid named Jake Paul lights a bunch of furniture on fire in an empty swimming pool and this makes him millions??
How do people like this get famous? Why are young people so eager to lap this stupid shit up?
I'm confused.....

The Shop
I help finance programs that establish endangered animals back into the wild and attend a lot of these events. its incredible what people idolize.
People just amaze me. Don't make money=you're worthless. Make your own money= you're worthless!
My oldest son watches Stephen Sharer on YouTube. It's not bad actually. They do things like modify Nerf guns, ride dirt bikes, etc. They kinda cater to things young boys enjoy. I watch it with him every now and then and it's not too bad at all.

Pretty much haven't missed an episode since.
And then we cheeched.
One guilty pleasure is watching fuggers mow lawns
Not to go too in depth, but the kind of "celebrities" I like on there are:
zefrank
Wheezy Waiter
The whole Crash Course channel
VSauce and its subsidiary channels
Community Channel back when she still made videos
I try not to support people just doing stupid stuff to get views. Silly and funny, sure, but not dumb in my opinion at least.
Pit Row
Moto
Mtb
History
Gaming
Fixing stuff
Sad part of generating traffic or "likes", some youngsters equate how they feel about themselves based on the number of likes or shares they get on a social media post. This can lead to depression and put kids in a scary emotional place.
Me, I mainly stick to Tumbler, the naughty side of Tumbler. But I'm a simple man.
but i have a few favs.. these guys just ride, film, cash checks

"YouTube Star dies video taping stunt"
Happened again this last week. Morans.
I guess I just didn't realize how much extremely dumb, brainless idiotic stuff these "YouTubers" do and the huge following they have and huge bucks they make off it, until I reseached it a bit.
