Massaging the ego

So I admit, this is a test post. A terrible, horrible thing to put out into the world, but sometimes it has to be done. Forgive me, or not. It doesn't matter either way, I won't take it back.

I guess I could put some actual content out there into the world and this is what I want to talk about: youtubers and personality types.

I'm wondering, as I'm sure many others have before, if there is a certain personality type (or disorder? :p) that is prevalent amongst those who would put videos of themselves out there onto the internet in order to entertain the masses and attract to themselves a few (thousand?) subscribers.

I've been told there has been a study done into this and I really am quite interested in what makes youtubers go, since it is such a new 'technology' that was suddenly colonised and a community formed around it. A very interesting community with members from across the globe.

I'll look into this and get back to you. Or maybe I'll make a video about it.
