So let me introduce one of my favorite Asian Youtubers. These guise are seriously the BEST! They've been making short films, funny sketches, and filming music videos since the ancient times LOL Just kidding xD They do go far back though and I as many people know them from one of their most popular shorts: "Yellow Fever," or more recently, "The Last." Their short films always had an either deeply meaningful, heartfelt message or a hilarious one and I loved every minute. I remember watching a bunch of their videos in the good ol' days, and even their Wong Fu Weekends' Vlogs, but there was a short period of time in my life that I spent away from the internet and in that time period, Wong Fu Productions came up with a movie idea!!! And they decided to crowdfund it. After I came back to Youtube, I found out that the crowdfunding was over and that I had missed everything D''; I was SUPER (no like REALLY SUPER sad) that I had missed all of the once in a lifetime perks. I wanted to buy everything like the crazed fan I was....but me and my wallet were too late.
So I wanted to show my support now, seeing as the movie is in post-production, and tell everyone I know about the movie and also be one of the first to see it. The title of the movie is Everything Before Us and the premise is about a world where all your relationships are graded and recorded and can either be used for or against you based on how well you perform in a relationship. I love the concept already and I know that they'll do an amazing job telling this tale. I'm extremely excited to see their storytelling techniques and I can't wait till it comes out.

Why I love YouTube
The YouTube community is so broad and
diverse and continuously growing. I believe that YouTube has the power to
create amazingly inspirational stories and build unique connections. If
you look at many popular YouTubers' "Draw My Life" videos, they all
tell stories about how making videos has really changed
their life for the better and how it allowed them to finally relate to
more people who enjoy their unique sense of humor. Many of the stories tell of how they used to struggle to fit in and never really felt comfortable in their own skin, until YouTube offered them a way of connecting to others like them and allowed them to explore who they really are and who they want to be. In a day an age when social media has built a wall to the people around us, it's normal to look elsewhere for people who you can truly connect to. I believe that YouTube really is a great
medium for releasing new ideas and an innovative mode of communication.

Calling all YouTube Fans!!!!
Ever since YouTube first started, the community has been constantly expanding and developing more and more content for millions of viewers all over the world. There are literally millions of videos for every genre and a variety of different YouTube personalities that stand out. Every single day, new levels of creativity are reached and YouTubers find themselves with high expectations of how to please the fans. I created this page so that we the viewers could gather and discuss about our favorite YouTubers, why we love them so much, and how we could help support them.
In an attempt to counter the stress and pressures of making high-quality videos for us, I really wanted to find some way to let YouTubers know that we appreciate their efforts and that there are reasonable viewers who understand when videos absolutely cannot be uploaded because LIFE. I wanted to counter the statements that because "this is their job," "they should be uploading everyday," and "they shouldn't be lazy." These statements are impractical and absurd because they hold the YouTuber to impossible standards and see them as if they were not just regular people. This also leads onto kind of a psychological aspect of how people tend to hold others to unnatural standards in general. Reading John Green's Paper Towns helped me to realize this a lot.
