The Rise of Youtubers

[Black Francis]

This thread was somewhat inspired by Vanilla's thread

But i didn't want to derail that thread so i made this one.

K, so i love youtube and ive noticed youtube is no longer just random ppl getting famous of viral videos alot of youtubers have made a career out of their channels.

More than just getting their 15 minutes of fame they're building careers out of popular movements happening in youtube or in the web to the point some of them have become millionares like Pewdiepie.

But it's not just Pewdiepie getting rich of it, SMOSH, Nigahiga and Tobuscus are all making a comfortable living just doing their videos but now they got sponsors to back them up and while they're not as famous as Tv & Movies stars withing some movements they're mini celebrities.

What do you guys think about this?
Do you think youtube will eventually become a sponsor fest like Tv?
Do you like that average ppl are now becoming webstars?
Are you a fan of any youtuber?
