Youtube is a wonderful, terrible monster. It takes ordinary people and allows them to make a living and become somewhat-celebrities simply by filming videos in their bedrooms. At the same time, it sucks us in, causing us to become obsessed with watching regular people doing regular things. In the last few years, Youtube has become a world of its own, with many of its "stars" landing TV shows, podcasts or book deals. Nowadays, someone who started off by filming videos in their dorm can end up interviewing celebrities on a red carpet or even the president. So what makes us so infatuated with these individuals and their channels? Maybe it's the normalcy factor- the fact that these people are just like us and yet our lives are completely different. Maybe it's the idea of us thinking, "I could do that too." Or perhaps it's just pure entertainment. Whatever the case may be, the world of Youtube is undoubtedly a black hole- once you get sucked in, you can't get out. Here are just a few ways in which the Youtube world has ruined my life:
1. I now compare all members of the male species to the Harries twins.
2. Its made me believe that OTPs could really exist.
3. I now enjoy watching people eat disgusting things for entertainment.
4. The majority of my day is spent inside staring at a screen.
5. The minute I buy something I feel the need to tell everyone.
6. I turn to Youtubers for life advice.
7. I judge all friendships off of Dan and Phil.
8. Its made me believe that I can achieve flawless makeup looks (cough...false).
9. I see life as a series of tags and challenges.
10. There are days where I would rather watch someone else's life than live my own.
11. It has made even the simplest aspects of life fun to watch.
