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.

  1. I've uploaded about two youtube videos and they're not actually of me. They're just of friends making a fool out of themselves etc. I put them on so that other people at school could have access to them too instead of having to send them by email which takes ages. Hope this helps your confusion.
