YouTubers

About a month ago, I got hooked on this ridiculous YouTube series called “YouTubers React.”  Every week or two, folks with YouTube channels are invited by TheFineBrothers to watch other viral videos and give their reactions.  Each episode is divided in two parts; the first part is the guests watching the videos, and the second half is a question-answer session concerning what was watched.

It’s a pretty fun show that I stumbled on accidentally and recommend, but what happened in the last week is that I wanted to actually view their guests channels and see what they came up with.  And I am amazed at the variety.  As big as I knew YouTube was, I wasn’t aware of how many people used YouTube as part of their career entertainment.  It’s amazing; there are cooking channels, beauty channels, gaming channels, news channels, documentary channels, and then other miscellaneous fun channels.  It’s incredible what’s out there and I know that I have just scratched the surface.
Just from the YouTubers, here are my favorite finds:
MysteryGuitarMan:  I’m a music nut, and Joe Penna and his friends do some wild and inventive stuff with anything that comes to mind.  They’re like a severely edited version of Stomp, only without as much percussion.
ShaneDawsonTV:  Guilty pleasure.  And I do feel guilty for liking it as much as I do.  Lewd, crude, bawdy, profane, puerile, and hilarious.
Sxephil:  He talks a little fast so it’s hard to keep up with all the topics, but in roughly ten minutes, he covers a broad range of current events around the world that I consider it a good use of my time.
There are others, but these were the ones I kept going back when the next day came around.  I was judging this on how quick these channels made me want to come back and see more.

This is going to be my last Friday post for at least a month.  Earlier this week, I decided that I wanted to try to change my posting deadlines, challenge myself a little bit.  So, for the next five weeks, instead of doing these obscenely long essays twice a week, I am going to be publishing shorter posts Mondays through Thursdays.  Until then, take care.
