YouTube stars take over in 2019

In this day and age, many adults and teenagers look across apps and platforms for entertainment. If anyone has watched a video online, there’s a good chance it was a Youtube video. 

Youtube, as many people know, is a free service that is used mainly for the younger generation to watch music videos, comedy shows, how-to guides, recipes, hacks, etc. The mission Youtube sets for themselves is to give everyone their own voice through the platform and have the ability to show their voice to the world.

Youtube has produced a new generation of celebrities and influencers who have turned to posting videos online into lucrative full-time careers. The most popular YouTubers include video game commentators, makeup artists and vloggers. The term “Vlogger” is a person who regularly posts short videos to a vlog. 

Most people in the world have viewed at least one video from the Youtube platform. In my lifespan, I know I have viewed a large number of videos and subscribed to various Youtubers. 

In recent years many Youtubers have become pretty popular and gained a following up to 30 million subscribers. 

Throughout time, there have been several Youtubers who have gained a larger following by myself and thousands around the world. 

These are the top five Youtube personalities that I have followed for many years.
