Do you think Youtube 'celebrities' will eventually die out?

I think that they're here to stay. I mean maybe some time down the line youtube may be replaced and such celebrities will come from a different platform, but yes internet celebrities are here to stay. The internet is increasingly meshing with and obsoleting other forms of entertainment so these youtube celebs will become ever more indistinguishable from standard celebrities.

I don't know, I don't really see online celebrities becoming bigger than movie stars. Perhaps on par with reality TV though

I think they are only relevant to people who actually pay attention to such things, i never even heard about it and i watch quite a bit of media.

Celebrities are still a thing, so as long as Youtube is relevant, yup.
Actual blue mod response on doing what they volunteered to do. No wonder this place is infested.

The medium might change (Like some people stream on twitch instead and what not), but the idea of an internet celebrity won't.

Considering I'll ground my kids if they watch Pewdiepie's crap, yes.

Eventually this or that will die out, but more scenarios will popup, of course depending on time and what the future holds.

They've had a Youtube celeb as one of the hosts last weekend at the GlobalCitizen Festival in NYC. He's been doing that already the year before.
So, I guess the answer is: Maybe, it depends.
It's whether an online celeb can make it outside of the online environment, into real life exposure.
Some might, some never will."The pen is mightier than the sword.. and considerably easier to write with."

They sure will have a lot of crazy fans even after stop working with their channels, but nowadays people get bored pretty fast. The majority of the viewers will move on to another stuff unless the youtubers keep innovating and adapting to the audience.

Other than Mark Wiens, I have never recalled a YouTuber's name. This Pewdiepie guy is hilarious. Might reconsider my opinions of streamers now... Originally Posted by pateuvasiliu

What's GlobalCitizen Festival exactly?

I don't really see the appeal of 90% of them, but then again im 29. I just don't really see the appeal, especially when they're just spouting opinions

I foresee them only getting bigger as the internet and newer generations continue to expand technology wise.

Actually it depends, I could probably get behind a Youtube celebrity because of a talent, but not because they exaggerate a persona for attention

I don't know he's pretty damn annoying and doesn't portray Sweeden well, unless most Swedes try to act American and have ridiculous voices Originally Posted by Draknalor186

Concept. No, there will always be celebrities when it comes to large numbers watching something.
Specific Celebrities. Possible, Someone like Pewdiepie works since he is still relatively young, when he is older he would probably need to evolve or he becomes a weird 'dad' like figure acting like a child. The make-up girls there idea's will change from what girls will like and it will be seen as "mum make-up"
But that doesn't mean by the time that happens they won't adapt to different media or content

Youtube celebs (or internet celebs for that matter) are here to stay.
There isn't even much question about it. The lower grade TV celebs (like show hosts and newscasters for example, which are already fairly unknown to the younger generation) will eventually get replaced by internet celebs since more and more people are switching away from traditional television.
The number of celebs isn't changing, the medium they appear in is.
