I feel like having 1M followers on tiktok isn’t equivalent to having 1M followers on youtube because tiktok fame just seems so short lived. Like once you follow someone you never see their content unless it shows up of your fyp. But for youtube the fame is long lasting usually and if you subscribe to someone it’s because you like and actively watch their content.
I saw someone say, “I keep up with 3 youtubers but with 200 tiktokers” and it’s a really good point. There’s so many influencers that come up on my fyp that I like but I’m not going out of my way to get to know them like with youtubers
i COMPLETELY agree with you when you mentioned that a million subs on youtube isn’t the same as a million followers on tiktok. i never knew how to describe it but you explained it so well. i feel so bad for that gal who had no one show up for her meet and greet
Darcei started as a UA-camr and she has almost 2 million subscribers, on tiktok she only has 400k 😭 I think the problem is her audience is around her age, people that won’t go to vidcon lol
youtube is definitely more... just more. Harder to do youtube than it is to do tiktok, especially when most of these huge tiktokers literally do NOTHING for millions of views lol.
James Charles last year: "I'm going to stop using my (young & mostly underaged) fanbase as a dating pool" James Charles this year: "I'm going to use my (young & mostly underaged) fanbase as a dating pool"
'the fact that these kids dont know who john green is' pls philza is married 😭 he's in his 30s lmao. nah i get ur point completely, but i dont think i would recognise john green in public either. know who he is tho! id have a better chance identifying a green than i would a tiktokker lmaoooo
I think one of the biggest differences between tiktokers and UA-camrs, in my opinion, is their ability to connect with their followers. UA-camrs benefit from being able to put more depth into their content which I think allows people to feel more connected to them. With tiktok, most people are going on tiktok to just mindlessly scroll so there's usually not a very connected feel to creators on the app. If that makes any sense lol
As someone who was like 16/17 when UA-cam started. I miss when people didn’t have a clue that they could make money of being on the internet. People were just posting videos to have fun not because they wanted it to be a job or get money they just posted videos and talk with each other because they wanted friends it was so fun
the problem with james charles is that he keeps going for the underage guys... but he keeps getting older, so in the beginning it was a 1 year gap, then 2, then 3, and now he's literally 5 years old than 18y/os and SEVEN years older than 16y/os, it just keeps getting creepier and creepier
Idkw he’s so insistent on being around literal children, like I understand the idea that famous ppl that get famous at a young age feel like they’re mentally stuck at the age they got famous so they gravitate towards younger ppl, but JC has been famous for 5 years and it’s just creepy and predatory at this point, add on the text minors situation, he should be in jail
As someone who went to the second year of VidCon and was a MOD the third year... the changes I've seen in the convention throughout the years is wild. There's a video I watched a bit ago of a girl stitching another girl who had no one show up for her meet and greet and I wish I had favorited it because she kind of hit the nail on the head with what she said. She said that basically the era of the influencer was dead in the sense that a platform like tiktok is soooo oversaturated with people who have become viral after a couple of videos but because tiktok is so short form that it's incredibly easy to move on to the next viral video. People who solely make content on tiktok are at the mercy of the algorithm, and it's much harder to build a lasting audience who will stay by you and stay interested in you than it is youtube. There's thousands of people who get to a million followers on tiktok so fast because it's incredible easy to entertain people for 60 seconds or less, but like you said, I remember how long it took super popular youtubers like danny or drew for instance to reach a million followers, because it's just reality that long form stuff doesn't hold people's attentions as much as short form does. But it's even the same for people who are popular on tiktok and make videos on youtube, generally their channel on youtube has significantly less followers than their tiktok. I also have a feeling that the rise in the popularity of livestreaming on twitch and youtube has something to do with the downfall of popularity in tiktok influencers, and I feel like twitchcon this year might be a lot more popular than vidcon. Also, the minecraft smp stuff is beyond my brain scope, maybe because i'm an Old and I don't get the appeal, but those guys have their fandoms on LOCK, and it reminds me of the british boy youtuber invasion of the early years.
I think UA-camrs feel more like actual celebrities is because A LOT of huge yters were adults and didn’t really display a child like ego. All the TikTok folks are kids. It’s that simple; they’re immature and self centered. I also think it’s a good thing we are no longer sensationalizing content creators, it’s safer and more logical.
Sis when you brought up the British youtubers I feel you :'). I would have died for Jacks Gap and Markus Butler. Its nice to know other still feel that way.
i think also the difference between youtube and tiktok is... on tiktok you have no choice of what you watch cuz its what shows up on your fyp, and it's all down to the algorithm. on youtube (not counting shorts) the algorithm recommends you videos on the side or on your homepage, but it is in the end down to the viewer's conscious decision to decide to watch the video. s'why I find views on youtube much more valuable. hope that makes sense lol
Geez, you mentioning the youtubers from back when I was a kid made me so nostalgic and sad lol. Like, I remember being excited to watch the VidCon vlogs cause EVERYONE would appear in each others vids and it would be like a crossover episode almost.
yesss i also don’t see tiktokers as celebs unless they do traditional media, also i respect youtubers craft more cause the editing, the production is WAY more than tik tok cause the content is usually more than 10 min
Nowadays, anyone can get their 15 minutes of fame. I can count on both hands how many people I know from my hometown that have blown up on TikTok. That being said, I feel like this will be the downfall of the app. Fame isn’t anything when everyone is “famous.” Not to mention the drought of sounds/songs & trends are recycled every couple months. As for the dancing, it seems like we’re just recycling the same 5 dance moves. The worst part is that creators just rip off each other & get away with it. I give the app another year or two before it dies.
🇨🇦 Canada here, waiting for James Charles to be thrown in jail. May he, & other toxic "influencers" like Shane & Gabbie, get exactly what they deserve.
🇱🇻 I like your videos a lot, completely agree with everything. It's truly amazing (in a bad way) how far James has gotten without actually serious consequences for his actions. A sad reality.
I'm an English teacher (from Germany, so here's your country drop) and I'm not that old (24) but every time I talk to my students I feel ancient - today I referenced PewDiePie in passing and they have no clue who that is - so yeah, I get the nostalgia/feeling-old thing you mentioned
(Watching from Brazil btw) The thing with UA-cam is that it is maturing as a platform. The people using it are getting older, so they want more in-depth content; I am 25 and I watch deep dives of conspiracy theories, media or internet unfiction projects that are anywhere from 1-3 hours long, for example. But in this attention economy we're living on the internet, that's not enough because older people also have to work and do other stuff so we're not glued to UA-cam as much as a teenager is glued to TikTok or Instagram. And we see the tendency to longer content in TikToks geared to older audiences (think home renovation TikTok instead of FNAF TikTok, for example) like "renovating my kitchen: *part 25* " which would be way better fitted as a UA-cam video or even a series. I've watched 40-minute timelapses of people cleaning their house. I've watched Michael Cthulhu, who makes 2-hour long videos of the entire process of forging giant battle axes and swords that cut through doors. But said videos are harder to make, so the subscribers don't have much reason to stay on the site after those videos are done cuz the next one is only coming next month or so. With all that, not only UA-cam views are diminishing, but when compared to TikTok's increasing views, UA-cam seems to be dwarfing at alarming rates, which is only worrisome to freaking investors.
So many of these tiktokers who went had millions of followers but literally nobody came to see them Also I agree with the ego thing. I know a guy who had quite a large following on Tiktok and it was basically the only thing he would talk about as if it mattered It was 1. weird 2. annoying and also it was like he wasn't self aware. You can have thousands-millions of tiktok but nobody knows you and your audience might not even regularly watch you
i fully agree. youtubers feel more high end/ celebrity-like than tik tokers. it’s so easy to go viral on tik tok and yt has always seemed like it takes more talent and work
i feel like it's SO easy to hit 1mil followers on tiktok. on tiktok i'll blindly follow people and not even care. on youtube etc I'm more selective with who i follow and stuff. and as you said, i don't even remember half the people i follow on tiktok
12:42 the tiktoker you showed is actually a UA-camr by the name MissDarcei and she has 1million subs. I absolutely adore Darcei , so the fact that no one came to her m&g is heartbreaking:((
For anyone wondering, I just read the comments from that specific YT Short, and a lot of her subscribers were saying that she didn’t really promote her meet and greet, so that may be why no one was there
Oh wow, I feel so bad for darcei. She did youtube first tho, before doing tiktok but yeah, it's very sad. I feel like tiktok is like oversaturated and very fast paced that you cant keep up with anything. Just like you said, I can barely name someone from tiktok. (In fact, i uninstalled the app like a year ago, just not feeling the vibe anymore)
🇳🇱 hey there! The Netherlands here, just wanted to let you know that I really love your videos, almost every morning with breakfast I’ll sit down and watch you. Your so gorgeous!!
I feel like I just have so much to say, but I’ll just leave it at this. Girl, I agree with every single point you hit. It’s amazing how predictable these patterns in social media are becoming. We didn’t have a reference point prior to the last few years really, now we actually have the ability to look back and notice these inevitable cyclical changes. UA-cam must know they’ve built themselves to be the ‘home’ platform, therefore ensuring the longevity and relevance of the site. And I love that, I hate feeling like the platform I’m on will eventually drown along with all of my content/photos/videos to never be seen again. UA-cam truly feels like home, and I don’t see that changing any time soon.
One million followers on UA-cam makes you more of an Internet personality vs one million on tiktok that makes you more of an influencer. You have to be likable and make a connection with your audience on UA-cam but on tiktok it’s just throwing out short form content people don’t have to watch 10+ minutes of. It’s less of a commitment for tiktok audiences
Omg I do my own acrylics too and now I know why yours look so much nicer than mine… I could not hold the attention for 4 hours. Mine take like 2 hours and I still slack on making time for it lollll
the way james charles is still out and about partying with minors even tho he’s been proved to groom minors ???? and he acts just as egotistical ????? unfathomable
Most of the tik tok influencers won’t be able to hack it on UA-cam, they’ll need to do long format content and realise they don’t really have an interesting life, well not enough for people to want to watch
omg I love the analysis of internet trends at the end. I think about that type of stuff and those topics a lot too. Also feeling pretty old rn turning 22 this year and very much out of the loop :/
well, hallo from austria 🇦🇹 not me relating to you doing things at weird times during the night, i usually get really hyped for cleaning at night? and i'm just like: yeah sure, an hour of cleaning would be needed, should be alright and suddenly it's 7am lmao
🇩🇪 Hallo. Guten Abend! Really love that idea 😁 I’m also baaad with time. Like I’ll start a puzzle at 9 pm and suddenly it’s 1 am and I don’t know how I got there 😂
🇵🇹 There are literal people I followed on tik tok and never seen a tik tok from them again… and people that I don’t follow are usually on my fyp. It’s nothing like UA-cam where you actually build a community. There’s no community on tik tok
Ok but with Miss Darcei, I am subscribed to her on UA-cam and she never posted anything about being to vidcon on UA-cam. So her loyal audience on UA-cam didn't even know. Unless she posted about it on shorts or stories, which I don't watch normally. I don't follow her on any other social media. Ironically enough, the tiktok you showed of her about her meet and greet was the first time I heard about it. It does suck that no one went tho...
it's so funny that you brought up ph1lza as an example of these young people not knowing their vidcon history because he's literally like a lot of minecraft streamers' dad because he's in his 30s.. man just hasn't left the minecraft sphere in years
Honestly i follow loads of people on tiktok and couldnt name 90% of them whereas youtube i know everyone i follow and watch my favs videos on the regular. I would love if angelika did a meet and greet because people would turn up for sure ❤
Someone may have said this in a video essay but UA-cam is also becoming more niche. There are more niches, and the UA-camrs that are big in that niche don't necessarily have widespread appeal. Which I think is cool honestly.
I uhhh.. never use my subscription box, and only look through things through my Home page. I just follow too many people who upload multiple videos a day that just flood things out I actually want to see. Usually YT is pretty good at picking up what I want to see although there are dry patches.
I'm from Croatia 🇭🇷 Have been watching you for 2 years now and I love this channel and podcast very much (love you = volim te) And what to say about James Charles....I'm starting to think that he likes being problematic 🤔...So confused and sick and tired of him...
hellow i think the audio got messed up somehow because it sounds normal for the left ear (with earphones on computer AND on the phone but w/o the earphones, i tested it just to be sure it wasn't my earphones) while the right ear is much quieter, i don't know why or how this happened but just wanted to let you know love your videos though, you deserve all the love and support you get and more!!
Honestly, whenever I follow someone on tiktok, I feel like they disappear from my fyp. I have to go through the follower tab which I tend to forget about when I'm scrolling. That doesn't happen with UA-cam.
I also think there was no advertisement of vidcon. I am on UA-cam for several hours a day and didn't know it was going on until I seen the video of Darci saying no one came to her meet and greet.
🇳🇱 hallo! i understand the whole bit of 1 million on yt vs tt but Darcei does have 2 million subs on yt. i think a lot of people just aren’t interested enough in influencers anymore. to buy plane tickets and get a hotel. you need to have money which is what a lot of people don’t have. just read her comments. i also think people didn’t even know it was happening, i didn’t at least. but those are my thoughts!
Lil out of context but john green's will grayson will grayson and turtles all the way down got delivered to me just 1 hour ago and omg what are the chances. Btw great content. Earned a new sub.
I feel like yt fans are pretty loyal watchers, even tho thr subscription box isn't always accurate, whereas on tiktok I'll watch 1 video, follow, and then just never watch them again bc they don't appear on my fyp
I’m not saying that some of the tiktokers with an insane amount of followers don’t put any effort into their videos, but some really are low bar. Meanwhile UA-camrs with that amount of subscribers, you can SEE the effort, FEEL the effort and passion they put into their videos- especially since they’re usually a much longer format.
You Tube's longer format also gives you a better picture of the content creator you're engaging with, and then if you subscribe it's because you genuinely like them and have built a parasocial relationship with them. On Tiktok, that's almost impossible.
Honestly I don’t think I’d go to any meet and greet for someone on tiktok, but I’d definitely go to a meet and greet for some of my favorite UA-camrs. I have respect for people on tiktok, but everything just seems so short lived and I’ve never really connected with tiktok as much as I had with UA-cam. I’ve met some friends on tiktok through fandoms, but that feels completely different.
I feel like when I sub to someone on tik tok I then instantly forget about them and never look for their videos, they appear in my feed sometimes but I don’t remember subscribing but you tube, I grow a love for the person and I look forward to seeing them upload Ok you literally just said this 😂😂😂 sorry
I think a lot are going to move to twitch/live streaming rather than youtube once tiktok starts to die down. To me that more closely emulates the more spontaneous or I guess intimate feel that tiktok has. UA-cam seems so formal now that vlogging has pretty much died off and I can't imagine those creators putting in the extra time and effort to script, edit, film, etc a long form video when they could just hang out and do whatever in front of a camera
Philza isn't a kid XD he's in his 30s (he's one of the Minecrafter). I don't know much about John Green but in my mind, his audience was more teens so probably isn't a stretch that an older guy doesn't know John Green.
I feel like having 1M followers on tiktok isn’t equivalent to having 1M followers on youtube because tiktok fame just seems so short lived. Like once you follow someone you never see their content unless it shows up of your fyp. But for youtube the fame is long lasting usually and if you subscribe to someone it’s because you like and actively watch their content.
Absolutely, personally before subscribing to a channel I would have to watch a good portion of the videos before deciding to subscribe.
I saw someone say, “I keep up with 3 youtubers but with 200 tiktokers” and it’s a really good point. There’s so many influencers that come up on my fyp that I like but I’m not going out of my way to get to know them like with youtubers
right i literally never see ppl i follow on my fyp
and also because of that, 1 million followers on tiktok equals maybe 100,000 subs on youtube so it really is a very big difference
i COMPLETELY agree with you when you mentioned that a million subs on youtube isn’t the same as a million followers on tiktok. i never knew how to describe it but you explained it so well. i feel so bad for that gal who had no one show up for her meet and greet
its so sad! 😩
Darcei started as a UA-camr and she has almost 2 million subscribers, on tiktok she only has 400k 😭 I think the problem is her audience is around her age, people that won’t go to vidcon lol
I felt so bad for her.
Grace Africa?
fr fr
youtube is definitely more... just more. Harder to do youtube than it is to do tiktok, especially when most of these huge tiktokers literally do NOTHING for millions of views lol.
I agree!
hey, those tik tokers have to put on grey sweatpants , dont mock their struggle
James Charles last year: "I'm going to stop using my (young & mostly underaged) fanbase as a dating pool"
James Charles this year: "I'm going to use my (young & mostly underaged) fanbase as a dating pool"
'the fact that these kids dont know who john green is' pls philza is married 😭 he's in his 30s lmao. nah i get ur point completely, but i dont think i would recognise john green in public either. know who he is tho! id have a better chance identifying a green than i would a tiktokker lmaoooo
Luckily Phil would've been super chill about it im assuming he's so sweet
came here to say this ahah - it’s not that he’s too young to know john green, he’s “too old” to know the green brothers
I think one of the biggest differences between tiktokers and UA-camrs, in my opinion, is their ability to connect with their followers. UA-camrs benefit from being able to put more depth into their content which I think allows people to feel more connected to them. With tiktok, most people are going on tiktok to just mindlessly scroll so there's usually not a very connected feel to creators on the app. If that makes any sense lol
^ This, 100%
The 2013/2014 UK/US youtube will forever be the most iconic era of youtube. No era will come close.
absolutely! nothing will beat it 🤧
As someone who was like 16/17 when UA-cam started. I miss when people didn’t have a clue that they could make money of being on the internet. People were just posting videos to have fun not because they wanted it to be a job or get money they just posted videos and talk with each other because they wanted friends it was so fun
Naw. 2005-2010 youtube was the best.
the problem with james charles is that he keeps going for the underage guys... but he keeps getting older, so in the beginning it was a 1 year gap, then 2, then 3, and now he's literally 5 years old than 18y/os and SEVEN years older than 16y/os, it just keeps getting creepier and creepier
Wasn't his youngest 14 when he was like 21/22? Insanity. I don't know how he's still getting even a single view
Idkw he’s so insistent on being around literal children, like I understand the idea that famous ppl that get famous at a young age feel like they’re mentally stuck at the age they got famous so they gravitate towards younger ppl, but JC has been famous for 5 years and it’s just creepy and predatory at this point, add on the text minors situation, he should be in jail
As someone who went to the second year of VidCon and was a MOD the third year... the changes I've seen in the convention throughout the years is wild.

Also, me: He should be in jail👮🏼♂🚔
Sis when you brought up the British youtubers I feel you :'). I would have died for Jacks Gap and Markus Butler. Its nice to know other still feel that way.
stop the nostalgia!
omg the twins from Jacks Gap introduced me to some of my favorite music to this day, that era of UA-camrs had a hold on me for sure lol
Heeeeeeelllloooo
“How do 30 years old feel” ATTACKED, ANGELIKA. ATTACKED. (love you hahahhaa)
oh btw philza is like a 30 y/o man so that might be why he doesn’t know the greens hahah
🏳️🌈 here in America! Not proud of our SCOTUS so I'll fly a pride flag!
This is so American 😭😂
💛🧡❤💜💙💚
i think also the difference between youtube and tiktok is... on tiktok you have no choice of what you watch cuz its what shows up on your fyp, and it's all down to the algorithm. on youtube (not counting shorts) the algorithm recommends you videos on the side or on your homepage, but it is in the end down to the viewer's conscious decision to decide to watch the video. s'why I find views on youtube much more valuable. hope that makes sense lol
Geez, you mentioning the youtubers from back when I was a kid made me so nostalgic and sad lol. Like, I remember being excited to watch the VidCon vlogs cause EVERYONE would appear in each others vids and it would be like a crossover episode almost.
it's laughable how big these tiktokers' egos are compared to what kind of content they make
I agree with Ethan about James, unfortunately. James has gotten away with more & more each time-no wonder he’s so emboldened.
yesss i also don’t see tiktokers as celebs unless they do traditional media, also i respect youtubers craft more cause the editing, the production is WAY more than tik tok cause the content is usually more than 10 min
Nowadays, anyone can get their 15 minutes of fame. I can count on both hands how many people I know from my hometown that have blown up on TikTok.

🇨🇦 Canada here, waiting for James Charles to be thrown in jail. May he, & other toxic "influencers" like Shane & Gabbie, get exactly what they deserve.
i love hearing your comments and opinions on drama xx from germany🇩🇪
Just a note on Philza, he's not of the youngins, but one of the 30+ minecraft og's 😅 but I'm very surprised he didn't know who JG is.
(30+ as in his early thirties)
🇱🇻 I like your videos a lot, completely agree with everything. It's truly amazing (in a bad way) how far James has gotten without actually serious consequences for his actions. A sad reality.

It was 1. weird 2. annoying and also it was like he wasn't self aware. You can have thousands-millions of tiktok but nobody knows you and your audience might not even regularly watch you
So glad you said that about Tiktok fading like Vine. I said that from the beginning. I much prefer UA-cam, its not as 'shallow'.
And at some point like all trends, such short short form media is going to swing the other direction back towards longer form
i fully agree. youtubers feel more high end/ celebrity-like than tik tokers. it’s so easy to go viral on tik tok and yt has always seemed like it takes more talent and work
i feel like it's SO easy to hit 1mil followers on tiktok. on tiktok i'll blindly follow people and not even care. on youtube etc I'm more selective with who i follow and stuff. and as you said, i don't even remember half the people i follow on tiktok
This is how we say good evening in Dutch : Gooeieavond! 🇳🇱
12:42 the tiktoker you showed is actually a UA-camr by the name MissDarcei and she has 1million subs. I absolutely adore Darcei , so the fact that no one came to her m&g is heartbreaking:((
She’s like super cute and funny so it shocks me no one went to see her :(
MissDarcei currently has 1.99M subscribers on YT, and that’s how I found her years ago, so idk how no one went to her meet & greet
For anyone wondering, I just read the comments from that specific YT Short, and a lot of her subscribers were saying that she didn’t really promote her meet and greet, so that may be why no one was there

She looks gorgeous as always
💕
Truly she always looks amazing.
why am i not surprised to hear his name again? shouldn’t he be in literal jail?
(also the flag: 🇳🇱 goodmorning = goedemorgen)
'how do the 30 year olds feel?' well, i feel fine not knowing them hahaha :D
🇵🇱 dobry wieczór, not me looking for Polish flags supporting our girl 😅
I feel like I just have so much to say, but I’ll just leave it at this.
Girl, I agree with every single point you hit. It’s amazing how predictable these patterns in social media are becoming. We didn’t have a reference point prior to the last few years really, now we actually have the ability to look back and notice these inevitable cyclical changes.

Omg I do my own acrylics too and now I know why yours look so much nicer than mine… I could not hold the attention for 4 hours. Mine take like 2 hours and I still slack on making time for it lollll
the way james charles is still out and about partying with minors even tho he’s been proved to groom minors ???? and he acts just as egotistical ????? unfathomable
fuuuck fr whenever i see ppl on tiktok saying “youtube is dead” i’m like yeah i’ll see y’all when the clock app dies you guys will RUN to youtube 💀💀
Most of the tik tok influencers won’t be able to hack it on UA-cam, they’ll need to do long format content and realise they don’t really have an interesting life, well not enough for people to want to watch
omg I love the analysis of internet trends at the end. I think about that type of stuff and those topics a lot too. Also feeling pretty old rn turning 22 this year and very much out of the loop :/
well, hallo from austria 🇦🇹 not me relating to you doing things at weird times during the night, i usually get really hyped for cleaning at night? and i'm just like: yeah sure, an hour of cleaning would be needed, should be alright and suddenly it's 7am lmao
I used to watch Darcei on UA-cam about 3 years ago, I feel so sad for her
🇩🇪 Hallo. Guten Abend!
Really love that idea 😁
I’m also baaad with time. Like I’ll start a puzzle at 9 pm and suddenly it’s 1 am and I don’t know how I got there 😂
🇱🇻 привет
I'm from latvia but speak Russian.
Have been watching your videos for over a year now love you so much 💗 ❤️
🇵🇹 There are literal people I followed on tik tok and never seen a tik tok from them again… and people that I don’t follow are usually on my fyp. It’s nothing like UA-cam where you actually build a community. There’s no community on tik tok
🇮🇹 Italia qui!!! Ciao Angelika, sei sempre bellissima anzi ANGELICA!
¡Hola, Angelika! 🇺🇾. Loved the video today ✨
the clip of the girl with an empty meet and greet is actually a youtuber with almost 2 million subscribers so it’s crazy to me that it happened
Ok but with Miss Darcei, I am subscribed to her on UA-cam and she never posted anything about being to vidcon on UA-cam. So her loyal audience on UA-cam didn't even know. Unless she posted about it on shorts or stories, which I don't watch normally. I don't follow her on any other social media. Ironically enough, the tiktok you showed of her about her meet and greet was the first time I heard about it. It does suck that no one went tho...
Belgian and US citizen :) thank you for always providing us with good content and good vibes! It means more than you think 💕
it's so funny that you brought up ph1lza as an example of these young people not knowing their vidcon history because he's literally like a lot of minecraft streamers' dad because he's in his 30s.. man just hasn't left the minecraft sphere in years
🇨🇦 "eh, what's up bud?" 😂
🇩🇪 it's 10pm for me so... good evening = guten Abend
Honestly i follow loads of people on tiktok and couldnt name 90% of them whereas youtube i know everyone i follow and watch my favs videos on the regular. I would love if angelika did a meet and greet because people would turn up for sure ❤
Someone may have said this in a video essay but UA-cam is also becoming more niche. There are more niches, and the UA-camrs that are big in that niche don't necessarily have widespread appeal. Which I think is cool honestly.
I uhhh.. never use my subscription box, and only look through things through my Home page. I just follow too many people who upload multiple videos a day that just flood things out I actually want to see. Usually YT is pretty good at picking up what I want to see although there are dry patches.
Isn't MissDarcei also youtube famous? I'm so surprised no one went to her meet and greet
I'm from Croatia 🇭🇷
Have been watching you for 2 years now and I love this channel and podcast very much (love you = volim te)
And what to say about James Charles....I'm starting to think that he likes being problematic 🤔...So confused and sick and tired of him...
hellow i think the audio got messed up somehow because it sounds normal for the left ear (with earphones on computer AND on the phone but w/o the earphones, i tested it just to be sure it wasn't my earphones) while the right ear is much quieter, i don't know why or how this happened but just wanted to let you know
love your videos though, you deserve all the love and support you get and more!!
Honestly, whenever I follow someone on tiktok, I feel like they disappear from my fyp. I have to go through the follower tab which I tend to forget about when I'm scrolling. That doesn't happen with UA-cam.
I also think there was no advertisement of vidcon. I am on UA-cam for several hours a day and didn't know it was going on until I seen the video of Darci saying no one came to her meet and greet.
Btw The person in the clip you showed about the meet & greet is Missdarcei she has almost 2M here on UA-cam..
lol when she said kids and Philz is in his thirties
🇳🇱 hallo! i understand the whole bit of 1 million on yt vs tt but Darcei does have 2 million subs on yt. i think a lot of people just aren’t interested enough in influencers anymore. to buy plane tickets and get a hotel. you need to have money which is what a lot of people don’t have. just read her comments. i also think people didn’t even know it was happening, i didn’t at least. but those are my thoughts!
Lil out of context but john green's will grayson will grayson and turtles all the way down got delivered to me just 1 hour ago and omg what are the chances. Btw great content. Earned a new sub.
Hello from the USA 🇺🇸 Also, JC should be jail and off the internet (same with Shane, and several other people 😀)
Edit: grammar :)
I feel like yt fans are pretty loyal watchers, even tho thr subscription box isn't always accurate, whereas on tiktok I'll watch 1 video, follow, and then just never watch them again bc they don't appear on my fyp
🇵🇱 Poland! Cześć Angelika! Miło widzieć kogoś z Polskimi korzeniami
🇧🇪 goedenavond Angelika!!!
I’m not saying that some of the tiktokers with an insane amount of followers don’t put any effort into their videos, but some really are low bar. Meanwhile UA-camrs with that amount of subscribers, you can SEE the effort, FEEL the effort and passion they put into their videos- especially since they’re usually a much longer format.
it was really funny to me that you called philza Minecraft a kid because he's like in his 30s BHAHA
🇳🇱 Netherlands, also lovely co-host! Seemed very happy with the chewy.
And yeah, he really needs to stop.
I got notification for a new video 9h after you posted. What is going on?? Yt is being a lil baby
"these kids dont know who john green is" philza is like 32 and has a wife, also like if i saw john green i wouldnt know who he is either lmao
And tbh he probably thought about making sure that 3 18yr-old boys don't get themself kick out XD
John and Hank Green’s crash courses got me through school fr
I'm from Canada :) And fun fact, we're actually mutuals on tiktok!
I'm from the UK. Hello. And I haven't watched him like that since 2020.
You Tube's longer format also gives you a better picture of the content creator you're engaging with, and then if you subscribe it's because you genuinely like them and have built a parasocial relationship with them. On Tiktok, that's almost impossible.
I love Darcei so much her videos and her spirit are so fun, if I was in the US I wish I could have gone to her meet and greet!
Honestly I don’t think I’d go to any meet and greet for someone on tiktok, but I’d definitely go to a meet and greet for some of my favorite UA-camrs. I have respect for people on tiktok, but everything just seems so short lived and I’ve never really connected with tiktok as much as I had with UA-cam. I’ve met some friends on tiktok through fandoms, but that feels completely different.
I’m from Baltimore, Maryland, America!
I feel like when I sub to someone on tik tok I then instantly forget about them and never look for their videos, they appear in my feed sometimes but I don’t remember subscribing but you tube, I grow a love for the person and I look forward to seeing them upload
Ok you literally just said this 😂😂😂 sorry
From 🇨🇴 actually living in 🇩🇪
And In Colombia we say Hola or Holi as a cute way, in German is Hallo and Hallöchen is the cute way hahaha
I think a lot are going to move to twitch/live streaming rather than youtube once tiktok starts to die down. To me that more closely emulates the more spontaneous or I guess intimate feel that tiktok has. UA-cam seems so formal now that vlogging has pretty much died off and I can't imagine those creators putting in the extra time and effort to script, edit, film, etc a long form video when they could just hang out and do whatever in front of a camera
I start doing my nails at weird hours, then going to sleep, and waking up wondering why they look like they were done in the dark 💅 😳
America 🇺🇸 Las Vegas nevada / California depending the month I’m 20 and always watch you when I’m working from home lol
🇺🇸 I'm in the military and I'm traveling everywhere, so I'm glad I can always follow you 🥰
I'm surprised Darcei didn't have anyone meeting her at her meet and greet since she blew up on UA-cam first before she posts videos on her Tiktok.
Love from Saskatchewan 🇨🇦🥰
Philza isn't a kid XD he's in his 30s (he's one of the Minecrafter). I don't know much about John Green but in my mind, his audience was more teens so probably isn't a stretch that an older guy doesn't know John Green.
🇲🇾 Selamat pagi dari Malaysia! Terima kasih Angelika sebab content awak memang padu!!
Gonna need a vid on how you do your own nails 💅🏼
