When you have 5 consecutive days off, the reasonable thing to do is find a decent internet connection and flit through the world of YouTube.
Youtubers are very brave.
They are entertainers. Their product isn't just something they created, it tends to be themselves. They are the product.
Endless tumblr posts,meme,twitter followers and dirty fan fiction are created about these people (especially Marcus Butler who looks like this:)
hmmmmmm.(This hmmm contains lewd thoughts, questioning what the world thinks is worthy of popularity, questions on why I decided to put his picture here, justifications like 'well he does put out good content and more googling of his images. So, this hmmmm can be ignored.)
These people have been around for ages and VidCon is a stamp to their popularity. But some people live under a wi-fi less rock. They need to be told what they can watch on YouTube.
Here are seven .
TheFineBros
They have both fictional and non-fictional content. Their fictional content on break-ups seems to be as ruthlessly absurd as real-life breakups. Non-fictional includes a series on observing how people react to unfamiliar cultural symbols titled 'Kids React' or 'Teens React' or 'Youtubers React'
Here is an adorable one.
iisuperwomanii
Very popular, her content focuses on everyday life jibber-jabber (sometimes specific to her Punjabi heritage, sometimes about Air Canada). She does a great job at what she says she makes her videos for (entertain and motivate.) Her twitter affair with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson seems stronger than most people's real life relationships. This video is not funny. But it is my favorite video of hers.
vlogbrothers
Real life brothers Hank Green and John Green leave Vlog's for each other on topics like net neutrality, relationship advice and honey badgers. They keep the content modern nerdy which makes it like popcorn. Can't stop eating. Does the name John Green sound familiar to you? That is because it is the man who wrote this book.
Haven't watched the book, won't read the movie, don't want to cry.
And I like Hank Green's vlogs better.
Amazingphil
Stories from his life, like how he got fired from his first job and his first msn girlfriend. Ends the segment with naked photos of himself.

Community Channel
Run by Natalie Tran. Everyday stories that become hyperbole hypotheticals-my favorite kind of humor. Here is a video on the stress of expiry dates.

ASAP Thought
Run by the same guys that run ASAP Science channel. Their content is explanatory. They explain scientific occurrences or give insight to strange questions that no one bothers to ask. Here is a video about how music can save lives.
YouTube is still a really new medium. It's used to entertain, educate and sell merchandise. Most times it is a one man show and it's a lot of work (conceptualisation, scripting, filming,editing,post prod).One thing that most YouTubers seem to agree on is that they themselves don't know what they are doing. But they work hard at whatever it is. The norm they follow seems to be, 'to succeed at something, show up.' I'm sure there are a lot of great Youtubers I missed on this list, but this is just a list of who I have been watching the past few days.
