(+) Yeah! (+)

stars as regular celebrities**, as though they are common household names

like, they're so caught up in their own world and so conceited that they think everyone else thinks like them

it's an inability to empathize and connect with the rest of the world

**and i don't mean the ones that have actually attained celebrity, like pewdiepie, but smaller range people like... fuck if i know i don't watch youtube shit

It's a good indication they are under 18.

honestly i think most people should be left alone to be who they want to be

but like

i wouldn't want my son to grow up to be the guy who, when asked to name their favorite songs, can only list youtube parodies and such

how fucking embarrassing to be that out of the loop

eh, people need to get over this whole "the internet isn't the real world" nonsense...times are different. A lot of Youtube/Vine/etc stars are hosting awards shows, signing record deals and walking red carpets.

Kids in high school dont watch tv, youtube stars are the real stars. Although Id agree that a lot of them are quite obnoxious.

Celebrities are celebrities whether they originate on the internet or the old TV, although there are a number of differences between the two formats. For me the huge difference and advantage is far more thought-provoking content. With TV the most important content to tune into is probably the local news.

Just because you're not familiar with stuff someone else talks about doesn't mean really mean anything. Seems like an overreaction on your part.

like who?

the only one i can think of is Jake Paul and he got fired quick after they realized how trash he is. when your "talent" comes in the form of five second clips you're not going to last long

edit: wait there was Fred and Annoying Orange which both bombed hard on Nick.

Wasn't Annoying Orange on CN?

oh you're right it was CN, thought it was Nick lol

I mean if you get millions of views and make tons of cash I'm really not sure the platform matter much.
