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.
