With the introduction of YouTube 13 years ago came the introduction to a new kind of celebrity, the YouTubers. YouTubers create on the video-sharing platform ranging from vlogs, beauty-based, lifestyle, and more types of content. Some of these creators amass large followings, some with millions of subscribers that tune in to see their new content. YouTube is the largest video-sharing platform on the internet, so sometimes content creators can get lost in the shuffle. Don’t worry, here are 6 YouTubers that you should definitely be watching right now.
1. David Dobrik
Annika is the youngest YouTuber on this list. At just 15, this self-proclaimed “beauty-guru” created her channel at a young age. With over 90,000 subscribers, Annika has created a name for herself on the platform, especially within the beauty community. Her style is uncensored and unfiltered, and leaves no apologies for her language and content. If Annika does not like a product, she will tell her audience, regardless of sponsorships and endorsements. Annika has grossed a huge audience in a short time, showing that her sense of humor and honesty is well-respected among viewers.

4. Molly Burke
Molly Burke is different from many YouTubers on the platform. Molly is blind due to a degenerative disease that she contracted at a young age.

She has recently ditched her old video style, consisting of rants and yelling, and has instead turned to comedy and fun-loving videos. She constantly is coming up with new and innovative content, and is doing it all while having a good time. Whether she is dyeing her own hair, shaving her eyebrows, marrying her dogs, or gluing rhinestones all over her face, Jenna has captivated audiences for over 10 years and continues to do so.
6. Safiya Nygaard
Safiya has been creating content for a long time, but she just recently started her own YouTube channel after leaving BuzzFeed. She creates more journalistic content focusing on decades of fashion, new foods, shopping, creating makeup, and advertising tactics.
