What is a Youtuber?

In short, I have my own Youtube channel (be sure to check it out).

Now, I was thinking to myself how does this Youtube thing, works. Here's the deal: with TV, you don't really get to decide who's important to you or not. And don't give me that crap about ratings. Picture a scenario in which you'd have 3 handsome guys competing to be the next Brad Pitt (or whatever). They should all look pretty similar with slight differences, so one would have asian-ish eyes, the other would have european-ish hair and the third would have a italian-ish nose. So, in the end, one of these guys would yield the highest viewing rates and would be hired be the company (or show, or movie producer) with more money. What happens is that those Brad Pitt wannabe's are now going to be shoved down everybody's throat.

That's how a celebrity is born. And a celebrity dies exactly when it's profitability drops lower than that of the new best thing.

So what does that make me? At first I'm just another frustrated celebrity wannabe, i.e. I see no reason why we should separate some guy that decided to be an actor (show his face on TV and movies) from a guy who decides to be a Youtuber (show his face on Youtube). Initially, you're not gonna have an easy time with money, but there's a possibility, however remote, that you're eventually gonna make a buck (or a lot of bucks). While we're at it, you're also gonna have to put up with lots of idiots that try to tell you what to do, or tell you you're not good enough, or that you should copy other people's style/work/language/idea or whatever... There's a lot of pointless critics being tossed around. And critics never get anything done.

So I guess being a Youtuber is like being a celebrity of the lame kind. You basically work your way from scratch using nothing but your own silly will to do something you think might prove somehow interesting.
