I hope it doesn't ruin this thread now I've mentioned it but I've seen threads started on here several times over the last decade or so where all the replies are nothing other than pictures of random people's faces. No words just totally unrelated pictures. Celebrities or something I presume. To this day I have no idea what on Earth that was all about.

Was only ever a casual fan about twenty years ago. References are everywhere. It's often easy to work out the gist but some of it goes right over my head. Especially if there's no picture. I thought I was the only one. You can't move for Simpsons references in here. Eastenders references from Astro and Ian are miles better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Dem Wanz Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 My favourite (and probably the only time I've enjoyed an Eastenders reference) is the one where everyone posted the same picture of Ian Beale's face after a nonsensical OP from a forum member no one liked (I think).

This is because the show took a nosedive off a cliff quality wise and has been shit for 20 years. Those first 10 years were fucking gold and would be a joy to watch having never seen them before.

I don't really use YouTube all that much, but normally when there's a gap in my knowledge I can at least piece things together, but with YouTubers it's just a list of incomprehensible names, none of whom I can separate from one another, all of whom I assume are moments away from being outed as white supremacists or nonces.

Paid Members Accident Prone Posted January 3, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2019 There are the top 10 most popular YouTubers (according to Google and Thrill List) PewDiePie. Subscribers: 69.3 million Dude Perfect. Subscribers: 36.1 million HolaSoyGerman. Subscribers: 34.8 million whinderssonnunes. Subscribers: 32.3 million elrubiusOMG. Subscribers: 31.97 million Fernanfloo. Subscribers: 30.3 million JuegaGerman  Subscribers: 30.2 million Felipe Neto  Subscribers: 27 million VEGETTA777  Subscribers: 24.5 million VanossGaming  Subscribers: 23.8 million  I watch an awful lot of YouTube, including gaming related content like Angry Joe, Peanut Butter Gamer and Jim Sterling, but the only one from that list that I've heard of is PewDiePie and that's only because he was outed as a bit of bad egg recently.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 3, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 3, 2019 Unless they make the BBC news site, I only hear about the teeny bopper make-up knobheads my daughter bangs on about. Zoella and the like. This is maybe a thread in itself but I'm surprised TV hasn't changed particularly to take into account the popularity of YouTube. Especially Kids TV. My kids will watch minutes of CBBC or whatever these days but literally hours of YouTube. It's not just product reviews, although they love all that blind bag stuff, but people playing with toys or indy cartoons and music videos. It's not massively innovative really. If you think about a show like Gamesmaster, that was a prelude to what YouTube is now but the speed, the variety and the fun that goes into it sems much more attractive than 12 episodes of peppa Pig back to back or some of the terrible yank kidcoms all over Disney and Nickleodeon.

It's starting to. Strictly Come Dancing had a YouTuber on it this year. Wouldn't be surprised to see this gradually become more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the BBC should absolutely be producing YouTube-esque content. I do worry about YouTube in a lot of ways, because there's very little in the way of quality control. Kids' TV, especially on a public service broadcaster, has a lot of care and attention go into it to make sure it's appealing in all the right ways, but also educational, and relies at least somewhat on theories of child development and what's appropriate for the age. Some random producing stuff on YouTube has nothing like that going into it (before you even get into the more overtly problematic aspects of the platform), so kids watching YouTube over purpose-designed kids' TV could be missing out on all sorts. Someone like CBBC producing content that mimics the presentation of YouTube, but still hits all the right bullet points, should be a priority, IMO.
