This is true. When you see people like Tyler Oakley are one of the top vloggers and then you go their videos page and see his last 50 videos have been 'collaborations' with other big YouTubers or now all of a sudden he's obsessed with One Direction, Hunger Games and whatever else is trending right now it makes sense.
I'm surprised there are actually people that believe in the idea that 'if you work hard and put out 'unique' content
like the big YouTubers (this logic falls to pieces when you realize they're all doing the same challenges and tags)' you'll be fine. It's interesting to say the least.
So
unique! So
original!
