We're vlogging our way to YouTube stardom
An early YouTube viral video Charlie Bit My Finger seemed like a simple family moment, but one bite sparked the rise of The YouTuber - and forever changed the digital world.
One of the earliest YouTube viral videos Charlie Bit My Finger is a slice of normal family life. But one bite sparked the rise of a new type of celebrity - The YouTuber - and forever changed the digital world.
In part two of our five part series, Sophia Smith Galer sits down with American YouTuber Hank Green, who opens up about the wild ride of early YouTube stardom and how the platform鈥檚 evolving business model reshaped everything. UK YouTube sensation Joe Sugg shares the intense pressures of content creation, while Crystal Abidin, an anthropologist studying internet cultures, breaks down why this new breed of influencer has taken over.
It's the story of Youtube, told by the content creators who were there.
