“Youtubers” is the term used for people who upload videos to the Youtube platform regularly. The Youtubers that are more constant and have many subscribers may become a type of celebrity on the Internet. The fame of YouTubers is based on the content that raises their number of followers, mainly showing off their charisma, humor, skills, among others attributes.
When the channels of these Youtubers reach a certain number of subscribers, they call upon the attention of sponsors. Upon reaching this profile, commercial or institutional brands can sponsor those channels through advertising or collaborations. Youtubers include their sponsors creatively and directly in their videos. In some cases, some Youtubers are thematic, to include sponsored products, for exampĺe, and they can include culinary products in their videos.
Nowadays Youtubers have become a source of entertainment and information for the millennial generation and they are extremely influential for the Internet economy since they review, think, criticize and recommend countless products and services. The origin of the word Youtubers derives directly from the platform of Youtube Videos.
The history of Youtubers goes back practically to the origins of the same platform. This has been activated since mid-February 2005 and was created by Chard Hurley, Steven Chen and Jawed Karim. They were the creators of the first Youtube channels that year. The first Youtube videos at that time focused on different forms of talent and entertainment. Within a few years, Youtube was gaining popularity on the Internet, even launching a partner program. This program consisted of a kind of exchange contract for income from advertising. This program allowed its users to win ads to the videos that were uploaded to Youtube.
The character of celebrities that some YouTubers have does not compare with that of other multi-media celebrities. Youtubers are ordinary people who are more identifiable and accessible. According to a recent academic study, the influence of these Youtubers in some cases is much greater than other celebrities.
