"do you know the perfect way to ruin something it's easy you just add suits" You Tube Culture








Right let's start on the right foot, I love to study pop Culture, and this hole YouTube thing has made a different type of Culture. The fandom/fangirl Culture the word teenager was never used until the 50s, and it goes back to one movie and one song, the movie "the blackboard jungle" and the song "rock around the clock" by Bill Haley & His Comets It was a number one single on both the US and UK charts and also re-entered the UK Singles Chart in the 1960s and 1970s. this shifted the pop Culture, we wouldn't see the rise of the fangirl until five years later. The Beatles was the birth of the fangirl, girls and women would pass out from screaming so much. this has been going on for 64 years in the Pop Culture, but in the Youtube Culture we are just starting to relise that some youtubers have power over teens and young adults and like we saw with Alex Day it could go very wrong. there has to be a wall between creater and fan if there was no wall between fan and creater then it would be the same thing to what happen to dimebag darrell of Pantera or John Lennon of The Beatles and if you don't know they got shot by there fans,  if there was no wall between  creater and fan, this website would have been gone a long time ago, cause this website could have been used to pray on young teen boys and girls.I know that's the worst case scenario but if you don't have systems in place who's to say  a crazed fan couldn't jump the rail at vidcon or a meet and greet and shoot a youtuber or a youtuber gets drunk and sleeps with an underage fan. we don't have a system for this, we leave it to the creater and fan and it's going to end in tears one day, and this thing called "youtube community" it has been dead for a long ass time. youtube is too big to have a community, community doesn't bring in money. do you know the perfect way to ruin something it's easy you just add suits.
