YouTube is a friendly public park in my neighrborhood. In my ordinary nights, I usually visit this park before I open a gate to another phenomenon called, a dream world. I usually hang out at the bench alone and watch people walk by. Wonderfully, I can choose who I want to walk pass me. Tonight, still, I do my nightly rountine.
A Funny Montage show is what infront of me tonight when I first sat down on my favorite bench. In this show, a guy showed his YouTube videos he has posted for years. And, here is what he said:
"I'm just a guy from Sweden who likes to laugh and make other people laugh. Sharing gaming moments on YouTube with my bros!"
Many links has put down on the desciption section and an amazing number of 57M subscribers marks its trophy here. So I wonder, who are these people and who else do they subscribe to?
I wouldnot be surprising if a guy from Sweden is not at the top of this rock mountain anymore. It's 2017 now. But, I was wrong. The 10 Biggest Youtube Chennels Right Now states that this guy is hanging there. And, YouTube is the second under Google.com as the most visited website in this world.
But 10 biggest youtubers that showed up tonight are not all already known by me. One question also sparks another. How old we have to be to watch YouTube? I mean... for these moving images to attract us that much .
May be there is The Algorithm That Makes Preschoolers Obsessed With YouTube. A white light square with black texts about this topic came up to me. so I read and learned. Basically, Toddlers like to watch things repeatedly. Especially, a thing that they do not understand. And they do not understand a LOT of things it this chaos world. There is definately an algorithm to make a video that toddlers and older kids like based on their brain development. Unfortunately...
"There isn’t a human handpicking the best videos for kids to watch. The only human input on YouTube’s side is to monitor the app for inappropriate content, a spokesperson for YouTube told me. Quality control has still been an issue, however. YouTube Kids last year featured a video that showed Mickey Mouse-esque characters shooting one another in the head with guns, Today reported."
Whatever on the internet always been seen by someone. To bad if kids see thing they should not have seen at the moment. But Likes and view counts are a big thing now in the modern society. Baby's view also counts as one, doesn't it?.
To be seen and noticed are what human want from others. The levels of these are varied based on how much social a person is. I looked into the pond where I was standing not far from and thinking, 'what if you are just a mundane person but want to be seen by public?' Like a uBer call, I met with The People Pretending to Be Celebrities on Social Media when I turned around.
I talked to them but got bored. I lost myself in my own thought. I was wondering about those people who are not pretending, who became famous without an intention to be one. They just want to share.
I hung out with them a bit more before saying goodbye. Unexpedtedly, while I was walking back to the park's gate, I saw a woman wearing her Chewbacca Mask live!! ...and her 170M viewers standing behind.
