Dying Probably 578 Posted December 29, 2020 10 hours ago, Youth in Asia said: Does a youtuber meet the fame criteria, and if so, what is the minimum number of subscribers or views needed to become famous enough? For example I have 35 subscribers (no idea why they subscribed) and therefore not famous in the slightest. DanTDM who my kids watch all the time, and is only famous on youtube, has several million subs therefore to my kids is as famous as Cheggers was to me as a kid. But what about someone with 100k subs, or 1m subs or 10k subs? Many popular youtubers would probably get a mention when dying, even if they'd be unknown to most of us. Hamako Mori, 90-year-old gaming Youtuber is on many things of mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look, I get that "new media" is the way of the 21st Century and reality TV or YouTube seems to be a route in actual celebrity now (Scarlett Moffat) or produces people who trend on Twitter (Total Biscuit). I'm out of touch but not a complete Luddite. And if lockdown has shown anything its that there's some really good budding amateur documentary makers putting together small entertaining pieces on YouTube and gaining shitloads of followers. But if we're going by subscribers - because the hell do I know where the "properly known" line is. (For the record, I find Calvin Dysons James Bond pieces quite rivetting but he only was 33k subscribers, whereas some shit about makeup has millions - as I said, out of touch.) One pick - you all know who she is - has over 2 million subscribers. I'm not keen on her as a pick, but at that level of youth reknown I couldn't say they were unknown - even if unknown to me. But where is the limit? I'm going to draw an arbritary line at half a million subscribers on their internet channel - be it youtube, twitch, instagram or whatever the fuck folk use nowadays. Half a million seems like a good number. So, if we all like spam our mates, and they spam their mates - the case who started YIA on this train of thought might just snag the 279,000 extras she needs to qualify, then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth in Asia 1,087 Posted December 30, 2020 So Grace Victory is out! That's a shame i was just going through her channel and there are some real gems: "In this episode we discuss vaginal dryness, I moan about being unwell lol and we head back into lockdown. This video contains a paid advertorial with Durex." ... and 12,000 views. And in the list of sites, don't forget the TIKTOK. Anyway, the ruling has been made, 500k subs. Let's call it the Youth in Asia ruling (the DDP version of the Bosman ruling). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going Underground 74 Posted December 30, 2020 Going Underground version #16 submitted on the shiny new excel form. Even though it was automated, cheers for the confirmation email GUN. I'm guessing at 1 unique at best. I do feel a bit more confident than this years lot though. Not a good 2020 DP'ing for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,044 Posted December 30, 2020 Re YouTubers. Might just be me, but I've always found the thought of some teenage girl giving make up tips from the same room she masturbates in quite disturbing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eesti 151 Posted December 30, 2020 Sorry for the question. Might have been answered somewhere in the forum already, but would somebody like Noel Conway or Amy Price (Katies mom) qualify for points in 2021? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going Underground 74 Posted December 31, 2020 Ok, which one of my Motley Crew is going to cark it tomorrow ala Claiborne Pell 2009 and fire me to the top of the scoreboard for a few hours? New years day 2009 my finest Deadpooling moment. 13 hours ago, Eesti said: Sorry for the question. Might have been answered somewhere in the forum already, but would somebody like Noel Conway or Amy Price (Katies mom) qualify for points in 2021? If Amy Price is taken by the grim reaper next year l will be fuming. Decided to leave her out 2021 as although it isn't rocket science, the cynic in me tells me the extent of her illness could all be merely a ploy for Jordon to get her mug (and jugs) in more magazines and gossip columns, imagine that!! Her picture is staying as my Avatar though for old times sake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
