About this listen

Two billion people worldwide watch YouTube. Yet its stars remain a mystery to much of the public and media. What is the secret of their appeal? How do they cope with being in front of the lens? And who is behind them?

Wired journalist Chris Stokel-Walker reveals the answers in the first independent in-depth book on YouTube. For three years he has interviewed more than 100 figures connected with the world's biggest video-sharing website, including leading agents, managers and the YouTubers themselves.

He charts YouTube's rise from showing a single video of a zoo to multi-billion-dollar site that outmuscles Facebook. And he delves into thorny issues about brands, burnout and authenticity. He explains why YouTubers keep stopping traffic in city centres and whether they will eat normal TV.

If you are a journalist, publicist, advertiser, or marketer who needs to know how YouTube works or a parent intrigued by what the kids are watching and why (or just fascinated by the lives of leading creators) you will be informed and entertained by this book.

A great introduction into the YouTube culture for those who know nothing about it, unlike me. I truly hope the author writes more books like this but delving deeper into YouTube and behind the scenes. It would be great if we do get more in depth in the future, considering that YouTube isn't going away for a while and seems to only get bigger.

A great book for YouTube noobs

I was hoping for more behind-the-scenes or the history of Youtube but it was just pretty much just a long list of people that are making YouTube videos.
