List of YouTube personalities

YouTube personalities are those persons or groups who have grown to prominence because of their appearance in videos on YouTube. In addition to fans, some YouTube personalities have corporate sponsors, who pay for product placement in their clips or production of online ads. Some have quit their day jobs or changed careers to accommodate their YouTube filming schedules. As YouTube is a cultural phenomenon of growing significance, the category of YouTube personalities also encompasses public intellectuals who analyze YouTube and become either the subject or producer of prominent YouTube videos.
