Introduction:

If I really have to introduce Youtube to you, you've been living under a rock since the millenium; on the other hand, the Youtube communtiy is a completly different thing that is maybe a little hard to understand, if you don't spend seventy percent of your time on the internet. The Youtube community is made up of fans (the viewers of Youtube's content) and creators (the ones who make Youtube's content, the world's "newest form of celebrity"); these creators include critics of films or video games, people who talk about their daily lives (or vloggers), people who provide commentary for games as they play them (or lets players), musicians and artists of all kinds, comedians and people who are just trying to educate other people.

Conclusion:
To finish all this up, I would like to say that Youtube's close-knit community should be considered as a good thing, not a problematic system because of a few (admittedly horrible) cases of abuse within the system. Youtubers of all kinds reach out to their fans through their videos, cheering them up and motivating them to do good things or, even, just making them laugh. The Youtuber is a new and intresting celebrity archetype and many people who find themselves fitting it use their influence for good. But, when bad situations occur in the community, we need to pull together to fix them, to protect those around us, so that all of us can continue to enjoy creating and consuming content on such a strange, wonderful website.
