If you go on YouTube, you would realize that vloggers are very popular. When simply having a stroll down the beach or going shopping with your friends, you see people with cameras recording their adventures everywhere. Although there exists a huge vlogging and YouTuber culture on the East Coast, such as Casey Neistat and Brandon Woelfel, the West Coast is probably the center of this phenomena.
The popular vloggers and YouTubers on the West Coast consist of Liza Koshy, David Dobrik, the ACE Family, Jess and Gabe, and more. Being from Los Angeles, every time I go to the Grove or some popular location in downtown LA, I always see someone with their camera filming their adventures.
I find this YouTube culture to be so interesting and fascinating. Although many YouTubers have real jobs aside from YouTube, many rely on YouTube as their main job and get huge profits and fame from it. This fact has made me realize the mind-blowing idea of having a great career centered around YouTube.
This YouTube career has always been a dream for me and to see other people living out the dream is just as fulfilling.
Personally, I watch a lot of vlogs on YouTube, as I expressed my interests in them. I find them extremely entertaining and engaging to watch. Much of the content on YouTube can be sponsored and advertised, but watching vlogs is different because I get to see a glimpse into their daily lives and what they do in their spare time and also when they are working.
Not only that, but many YouTubers and vloggers give many life advice and solutions to daily problems that we as the public people go through in our daily, normal lives. This specific culture has gotten so huge on the West Coast that many of these vloggers have gained millions of subscribers and support from their fans and the public.
Having a channel where the content is just more real and more relatable to our lives is very refreshing from the constant sponsorships and advertisements that we constantly get on social media. Because of this demand and sudden interest in “real” and “personal” content in the online world, the vlogging and YouTube culture has increased in the West Coast, and I cannot be more excited for that.
Having been watching vlogs for quite a while now, I am very excited to see the evolution of YouTube in the West Coast. I am anticipating a huge surge of new content released by the current vloggers and YouTubers in the West Coast and a surge of new people who started to dip into this emerging culture of social content.
