Self-promotion and Sponsorship on YoutubeYoutube is one of the most popular streaming platforms on the internet. Its biggest stars have several million people who tune in each week to their videos. Many of its stars have the opportunity to use their fame to create other products. Beauty gurus create cosmetic lines, many write books, create gear with their taglines, and over all have many products that they have been able to create thanks to their internet celebrity. With the following they have amassed, it would be foolish not to use their Youtube platform to promote their products. So then why do so many of their viewers become annoyed or upset when these channels take time to promote their products during their videos?

Personally, I love a show that makes me empathize with the villain. I will certainly be catching up with Legend of Korra. | The Legend of Korra: Empathizing with Villains |
This show is definitely one of my favorites, but definitely conjures up my own life crises. It certainly challenges what we are accustomed to seeing as “cartoons”. | Bojack Horseman: Balancing Humor and Dark Themes |
A wonderful role model for young girls and women everywhere. Learning more about her, I appreciate her character as Leia even more. | The Legacy of Princess Carrie |
Video games are certainly art in their own respect. Whether it be the beautiful realism of Uncharted 4, the 2-d retro look of axiom verge, or the high-contrast of Inside. Very well thought out analysis. | Graphics, Pixels, and the Art of Video Games |
