No one understands the intricacies of YouTube like Chris Stokel-Walker.
- THE ATLANTIC
Two billion people watch YouTube, and it reaches deep into everyday lives. Its creators start new trends, popularise new songs and games, and make and break new products. Yet, while they are famous to billions of mostly young people, they mostly remain a mystery to the general public and mainstream media. What is the secret of their appeal? How do they cope with being in front of the lens – and who is behind their success?
More than 100 insiders spoke candidly to teach journalist Chris Stokel-Walker for this first in-depth independent book on YouTube. YouTubers is the only book you need to understand YouTube, its ownership by Google, its deal for stars, and its ecosystem of talent managers, advertisers, and marketers. It is a richly layered deep dive into YouTube brimming with lively characters, engaging facts, and influencer case studies. It is an ideal guide for any media studies students, advertisers, brand managers, and business people who need to understand YouTube professionally. And for any non-fiction reader interested in a gripping business and technology saga dripping with big money, ruthlessness, determination, and ambition.
YouTubers starts by charting the platform's launch in a boring 19-second video of the elephant enclosure at San Diego Zoo – which has now had 242 million views. YouTubers then moves onto the first oddball videos before the site found success by showing comedy clips from the TV show Saturday Night Live.
YouTubers reveals how YouTube saw off its emerging rivals in the online video battle of the 2000s and was bought by the search giant.
