YOUTUBE

Sometimes I forget not a lot of people watch YouTube. I don't mean like not going on to search for music and stuff but actually repeatedly watching certain people. Over the last few years, YouTube has grown so big and it's definitely a business now. Most of the people I watch are signed to a management company and make big money for their videos. They take sponsorship deals and are paid to make appearances at events and have people paying (and queueing for hours on end) to meet them. A lot have a certain schedule they stick to and have names for their 'fandom'. They have merchandise and apps and millions upon millions of subscribers. It's not a surprise that to many they are the future of entertainment.
