YouTube stars take over in 2019

Youtubers are the next generation of celebrities

January 8, 2020

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.

1.The Ace Family – 17.8 million subscribers
