Youtube

I thought the reading about youtube was pretty funny. Anti-star and Anti-charisma are clever terms to describe the people who are "youtube famous". I think youtube is one of the best things on the internet. It has so much to show. You can say to your friend, "I wonder if someone ever..." and most likely that answer is on youtube and thats the best part. There is always something new or someone new on youtube that sparks "popularity". I use it mostly for looking up live videos of bands to see if they are actually legit when they perform live. I am not going to say I don't use it for entertainment cause...well...there are some pretty ridiculous people out there. I think youtube COULD make someone a star. The chances of it are probably slim but it still could happen. I'm pretty sure I've heard of rappers becoming famous off of youtube and eventually getting signed to a label. Soulja Boy, for instance, got signed because he became noticed on youtube, i'm pretty sure. There's no other way it could have happened, because honestly...he's a horrible rapper. I know there are also comedy groups that make short skits and put them up on youtube, and I'm sure one of them has gotten somewhere with acting BECAUSE of their videos on youtube.

I agree though with the "Anti-star" term though, because most of the videos that are popular are people doing stupid stuff and embarrassing themselves and I mean I don't think this makes them a star at all. This is where "anti-star" comes into use. Its clever and its the perfect word to describe someone on youtube.
