His main channel (Cryaotic, formerly ChaoticMonki) has been active since 2006. On his channel, other than gaming videos, Cry also makes "Cry reads" videos where he reads from various sources in his iconic deep and soothing voice.

3) Cry Plays: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines [P1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTPf8eozg7Y

 

 

Opinion time: A lot of people watch Cry because of the mystery that surrounds him. Nobody's ever seen his face. I do think that they mystery is interesting however what drew me to his channel is his style of commentary. His voice is so unique which is key to gaming channels with only vocal commentary. He also occasionaly collabs with other Youtuber's which is always fun.

His personality is so lovely and witty so he's a joy to watch/listen to. I think if your into watching gamers then Cry is one you need to check out!

PewDiePie

 

 

Profile: Felix Kjellberg is a Swedish gamer and entertainer on YouTube. He also makes the occasional vlog, Q&A video and a series he calls "pewds does everything" where fans submit challenges for him to perform.

He currently lives in Brighton, United Kingdom with his girlfriend Marzia Bisognin who is also a Youtuber (CutiePieMarzia) and their two dogs. Felix is twenty four years old. His main channel (PewDiePie) has been active since 2010 and has been one of the fastest growing YouTube channels ever. Since August 2013 his channel is the #1 channel on YouTube with the most subscribers.

Being the #1 channel on YouTube, Felix makes money off of ad revenue from his videos. He also sells merchandise through spreadshirt. Other Youtuber's he has been associated with include: Cryaotic, CinnamonToastKen, Smosh, CutiePieMarzia, etc.

Felix has been subject to a lot of controversy pertaining to his videos content. Violence, sexual content, and cussing (sometimes in Swedish) are usually in every video.

 

 

Popular videos: Some of Felix's channels most viewed videos include:

 

 

1) A Funny Montage   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRyPjRrjS34

 

 

2) FUNNY GAMING MONTAGE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc1XYAJCZ80

 

 

3) HAPPY WHEELS - FUNNY MOMENTS MONTAGE #3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNwFexjnbyM

 

 

Opinion time: Being #1 on YouTube is a lot of pressure for one person. He does all of his own editing and filming. He's very hardworking and I do think he's funny. However, I do think that his content is innapropriate for kids under the age of fifteen.

Also he's raised a lot of money for various charities so he's very generous, which I admire. Though some people don't think he deserves his popularity on YouTube I think that it's better for someone who's hardworking and generous to be at the top.

He's also kind and inspiring to many people who are going through some of the same things he went through when he came out. His personality shines through his videos. He also has made very generous contributions to the Trevor Project which is amazing. He's very hard working and him being very popular on Youtube is well deserved.

Lush

<----Matthew Lush

<----Nick Laws

Matthew is twenty five years old and Nick is eighteen years old. This combined channel has been active since 2013. Their videos consist of vlogs, tag videos and milestone videos. Milestone videos are ideas submitted by the fans and performed by Matthew and Nick when they reach a certain amount of subscribers. This channel is a combined channel but both have their own separate, partnered channels which they make money off of. They also have their own merchandise that they sell including shirts, bracelets, etc also.

Matthew and Nick have been in a relationship for seven months now and have been broadcasting the relationship since the beginning with their slogan, "watch our love blossom every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. 

Other Youtuber's that they have been associated with include: Shep689, Davey Wavey, Tyler Oakley, Damon Fizzy, etc.

The controversy surrounding this channel has been very unusual. The continuously asked question is "what if they break up?" Then what would happen to the channel? Also some of the content on the channel can be sexual. They don't hide their affection towards each other.

 

Popular Videos: Some of Matthew and Nick's most viewed videos on the "lush" channel includes:

1) HOW TO KISS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEa5NEbnCSg

2) LUSH KISSING CHALLENGE (FLAVORED LIP SCRUBS) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej7Ko0blhjo

3) BOYFRIEND Q&A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTK5N9EMYLU

 

Matt's channel "GayGod's" most popular:

1) LAS VEGAS STRIPPERS... LITERALLY. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFEVrtcyRpA

2) Willow Smith - Whip My Hair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yx2HbkRFeM

3) Coming Out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkkRbVZ-5RE

2) MY FIRST TIME https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA2ScUc-CO0

3) WHY IT IS HARD BEING A TOP!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfUVupTWJFk

 

Opinion Time: Matthew and Nick have been gaining subscribers pretty rapidly, but they do both work very hard. They package and ship their own merch and work hard not just on the "lush" channel but also on their own separate channel's too! I do worry like many others what would become of the channel if they were to break up. But we won't know until that day comes if it ever does. They show the good and the bad of their relationship which is both risky and kind of genius. It draws people in who want to see and feel the experience of a real relationship.

They both are enthusiastic and seem very genuine and in love so I'm happy for them and I hope the best for them.

Zoella

 

 

Profile: Zoe Sugg is a british makeup guru, vlogger, blogger, interviewer, and entertainer on Youtube. She used to live in London, England and now she resides in Brighton. She's twenty three years old and has been making Youtube videos since 2009. Her main channel videos consist of beauty and tag videos for the most part. She also has a separate channel which is primarily for vlogging. Zoe has been a Youtube partner for awhile so her main source of income is ad revenue from her channels. She has interviewed celebrities before, including the famous boy band One Direction.

Zoe is in a relationship with fellow british Youtuber Alfie Deyes. Her brother Joe Sugg is also a famous Youtube partner. Other then her boyfriend and brother, other Youtuber's that Zoe has been associated with include; Tyler Oakley, Joey Graceffa, Troye Sivan, Marcus Butler, etc.

The only controversy that Zoe has been involved with includes "Zalfie" which is hers and Alfie's ship name. A "ship" is when fans want two people (usually Youtuber's) together in a romantic relationship. Zoe and Alfie had kept their relationship a secret until a picture of them on vacation together was in the backround of a Youtube video and Zoe released a post on her personal blog admitting the relationship was indeed real.

Popular Videos: Some of Zoe's most viewed videos include:

1)How To: My Quick and Easy Hairstyles | Zoella https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=my3Bfd6qYrs

3) The Boyfriend Tag | Zoella https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxA0A3QtJc4

 

Opinion Time: Zoe is one of the most popular british youtubers/ makeup gurus on Youtube and I do think it's well deserved! She's very commited, beautiful and appears to be a very lovely person. She has a cuteness aspect to her and it works well for her. I think she could be a makeup or fashion artist/icon if she continues growing in popularity. I admire her charisma and I hope she will do great in her career.
