It Should Happen to You; the anxieties of YouTube fame.

Everyone uses YouTube; some use it to check out videos, while some post their own videos. Stevie Ryan got fame through the site. She was just a simple girl, who moved to L.A. hoping to achieve fame. She started creating vintage-style silent films and posting them, but fairly soon she realized that that wasn’t what the people wanted to see, so she created Little Loca. Little Loca is an online diary she created, not about herself, but a fictional character. She became really popular, and achieved YouTube fame. Her YouTube fame eventually led to a role in the film “What is it?” YouTube was created in February 2005, and has become one of the fastest growing and most popular sites. It was originally designed to provide an easy interface for storing, sorting, and sharing the kinds of digital videos. It is really vulnerable to lawsuits, due to copyright issues, but its faithful community of users and bloggers are keeping it alive. More and more people are joining and posting videos, and the future for YouTube is looking good. It is definitely going to contribute to modern day media and creating some new people for the industry. Who knows, you might be the next YouTube star.
