Bradshaw's Blog

I spotted these videos making the rounds and thought it would be a good idea to share it with those of you who might have read the Bradshaw's Blog post I wrote called Swiftkaratechop And The Youtuber Interaction Downgrade about Swifty's video. For better context, you might want to take a look at his video to fully understand what both guys are talking about in their videos. So, after watching swiftkaratechop 's video called "Youtuber", another youtuber decided he needed to respond to what he felt were the criticisms raised by Swifty. His name is thegr8stever and I haven't been following him although he is now on my radar. He has 33,411 subscribers which is, according to him, "a small youtuber" especially when compared to Swifty's much larger following on the website. Actually, let's let thegr8stever speak for himself. He posted the following video and then Swifty responded with one of his own and then another from thegr8stever. Jus...

This video by swiftkaratechop (aka Matthew Brown) is a little surprising. SIDENOTE: Reviewing this years later, I've noticed that the video below has been moved to Swifty's personal channel ( Matthew Brian Brown ) and the video should be attributed to it's creator. I've read that there were "issues" concerning his old Swifty channel that caused him to temporarily give his friend control of it but the channel was later returned. But back to the blog post below which remains pretty much the same despite this intrusive sidenote business. Swifty's channel is not one I am usually subbed to, so it wouldn't ordinarily come to my attention so quickly unless someone emailed it to me or mentioned it on Twitter or elsewhere but one of the people I am subbed to (the lovely LenaDanya a talented artist who does fun videos on YT by the way) liked and commented on Swifty's video so it showed up in my own Youtube stream. I thought I would check it out and thou...

There is a gaming channel on Youtube that is blowing up right now. It's called RiotGamesInc who has amassed an astounding 139,500-plus in the past 24 hours. This channel now has over 729,000 subs and that total puts them at around 86th overall on Youtube's Most Subscribed List. How does that happen? To give those numbers some perspective, JennaMarbles, the next most subscribed channel garnered a mere 6,700 in the last day or so. Apparently the channel has just grown by 24% OVERNIGHT. First, take a look at RiotGamesInc's latest video below: This video was released September 22, 2011 and has received over 334,000 views which does not even put the video in the top 20 most viewed for the past week. So their video is not driving all those subscribers to them. Actually, the channel has not released a massively successful video from what I can tell. The channel does have lots of videos which have a million to two million views which is an awesome number of course, but there ...

I am always on the lookout for Youtubers who may not have quite made it yet and below are 50 Youtube channels that are on the cusp of breaking out in my opinion. If you come away with anything you should probably take a look at number seven, JckSparrow (Hilly Hindi's channel) where she does an excellent Harry Potter parody for Deathly Hallows Part 2. There are a number of channels devoted to makeup, game commentary etc., which I don't personally follow for the most part but I know they are very popular and fans are always looking to sub to the best of the up and coming ones in those genres. There are some that I have little or no interest in supporting (mostly the corporate accounts) but they are getting subscribers so they are listed too. Each of the 50 listed here are about to, or may already have hit the 100,000 subscriber mark but you may not be aware of them and each is linked back to their Youtube channels so you can subscribe to the ones you are interested in afte...

This is a list of the Twitter accounts of most of the Top 100 Most Subscribed Youtube accounts and individuals. I'm pretty sure it's accurate, but I wasn't sure how to present it - alphabetically? But who has the most Twitter followers? (I'm pretty sure that would be iJustine). But I thought I would just list them by where they rank in subscribers. That's a problem too because there is some fluctuation, with folks moving up and down. If I've blatently missed someone (I apologize), let me know and I'll get them on the list. Most of this information can be found on each person's channel, but I thought it might be handy to have all of the addresses in one spot. There are lots of Twitter accounts of other youtubers not listed who are VERY active and connecting with their followers who should be included even if they are not in the Top 100, but this list will be updated as we go. Any questions or comments? Leave them in the doobly-do, er, I mean, leave them...

Let's say you have just watched a video from your favorite youtuber and you just HAVE to tell them how much you liked it. You've LOLed and ROFLed yourself silly or you have found what they have said so thought-provoking that you're now feverishly typing a comment. You have written and re-written your comment until it is the best response you can muster and you click "post" fully expecting an immediate reply saying that your comments are the most brilliant, insightful response that they have ever read. But you get nothing. Nada. More and more comments are piled on the video from other viewers and your brilliant and insightful snippet of text disappears in the sea of comments. This happens time and time again and you begin to think "Oh Justin Bieber, how can you be so unjust?!" Um, I don't think I've ever commented on a Bieber video and I'm just using his name as an example. Really. Famous Youtubers Are BUSY Take a look at any video of th...

Here's one of the top English youtubers discussing a conference he attended. If you don't know him, he's Alex Day aka nerimon and he's the 7th most subscribed UK youtuber who makes some interesting videos. I have to admit that I did know about Carl Sagan's universal calendar concept as Alex explains that if you think of the timeline of the Universe for it's beginning to the present day in terms of a calendar year, the Earth itself just showed up around September and the entirety of the human race appeared in the last 15 minutes of December 31st. That shows the relative insignificance of mankind (and womankind). But I also like to think that maybe the emergence of the human race could signify and important epoch of the story of the Universe. But then again, maybe we're just a speed bump with little significance in the grand scheme of things. Something to think about (or not). Here's another recent video by Alex that is a little less heavy. He and...

Who are the most subscribed Youtubers in the United Kingdom? Here is the list of those UK YouTube channels with the highest number of subscribers. Leading the way is charles McDonnell with his charlieissocoollike of course. Actually, the first 4 are all on the worldwide Top 100 Most Subscribed List. First, here's the Top 10 Most Subscribed In The United Kingdom: charlieissocoollike 498956 panacea81 391420 bubzbeauty 350057 TopGear 327328 miaarose 253662 simonscat 223473 BBCWorldwide 218735 nerimon 205716 THEMIDNIGHTBEAST 177235 eddsworld 175444 1. charlieissocoollike - Charlie McDonnell is well out in front of all in subscriber count with about 100,000 more subs than then next highest YouTube channel. McDonnell's channel is just about to hit the 500K level in subs. He also recently dyed his hair red just before attending VidCon in Los Angeles. He has a 2nd channel about his band (Sons Of Admirals) with fellow youtubers at 2. panacea81 - Lauren Luke is THE top make-up g...

Lisa Mason Lee, aka thecount meets up with a TON of youtubers at the Hyatt Regency and we see a bunch of favorites from Nigahiga (the most subscribered youtuber of all time), LisaNova , The Shaytards among others. It seems you can't turn around without tripping over youtubers with massive subscriber bases. Don't you wish you could go to one of these partner gatherings?

Charles Trippy and Alli Speed are up really early to catch their plane to Los Angeles to attend Vidcon. I am now officially kicking myself for not going but since I haven't uploaded any videos of my own I'd feel a little out of place. Still it's cool to see all the various youtubers, like Shay Carl, Dave Days, sxephil, Olga Kay, Superduperflygirl among others. Too many peeps to name individually. That part where Alli broke the wine glass at dinner is on Twitter, Trippy had a pick where they pushed something into Olga Kay's face. Have to admit Alli looks very pretty in this video with the hat. I liked the mass confusion and excitement with EVERYONE having cameras and vlogging everywhere. Love Alli "OMG, it's PhillyD!" at the Q&A panel lol. I think that was Michael Buckley (WHATTHEBUCKSHOW) on the right, but I couldn't tell who the others on the panel are. So looking forward to seeing what others are going to post in the next few days.

Here's the latest list of the Most Subbed Youtubers of all time up til 4 July, 2010. Not much change at the top of the list this week. It still looks like Shane Dawson's 2nd channel, ShaneDawsonTV2 might just overtake Phil DeFranco's main channel soon. Dawson is about 21,000 back of sxephil , but Shane should overtake Phil in about a month or so. He got 13,000 new subs this last week compared to Phil's 6,900 new subscribers.

Not much has changed sinced last week, except... hey look, my Secret Internet Girlfriend ijustine just made her way onto the Top 25 Most Subscribed List in 25th spot. Unfortunately expertvillage slipped down a couple of spots from 25th to 27th with ij & HouseholdHacker elbowing their way past expertvillage. HouseholdHacker just about stole Justine's thunder this week as they are only 1,265 behind as far as subs goes. Take a look at this week's list.

Just thought I would give you links to the top Youtubers who have Twitter accounts. This isn't an exhaustive list obviously, but it's a start. I'll make a separate page that lists Youtube folks and their respective Twitter accounts later and keep adding to it. If you want, leave a comment giving your Twitter account or the account of any Youtuber on Twitter that you think should be followed. They are not listed in any particular order: nigahiga twitter.com/TheRealRyanHiga FRED twitter.com/FredFigglehorn ShaneDawsonTV twitter.com/ShaneDawson smosh Anthony's Twitter twitter.com/smoshanthony smosh Ian's Twitter twitter.com/smoshian RayWilliamJohnson twitter.com/raywj sxephil twitter.com/phillyd davedays twitter.com/davedays kevjumba twitter.com/kevjumba collegehumor twitter.com/collegehumor MysteryGuitarMan twitter.com/MysteryGuitarM failblog twitter.com/failblog VenetianPrincess twitter.com/VP_Parodies WHATTHEBUCKSHOW twitter.com/buckhollywood thestation twitter.com...
