NewWell I am almost 50, and I
Well I am almost 50, and I would say YouTube is my predominate channel for media. In fact, my kids and I watch YouTube together. PewdDiePie is definitely the top on YouTube, but I am not sure I would classify the other 3 as top, there are so many other ones out there with more influence in my opinion. I would say some of my other big channels I watch are Jon Olsson, Mr JWW, Mr Beast, Petrolicious, Casey Neistat, plus a whole lot more.
NewHeh
Don’t know who they are, and kids don’t have smartphones, so they don’t know these people are, either. I feel like a fossil; my big influence lately has been Thomas Watson …
Tyler is a pastor in Olympia, WA and works in State government.

My goodness… I watch a lot of YouTube… but its sermons mostly, and old documentaries. I have never heard of one person you list.

Same here.
I’ve heard of PewdDiePie, but that’s just because he’s hit MSM due to getting on the wrong side of the woke crowd for… something. Not even sure what.
I’ll one-up you here though, Tyler, b/c all my big influences, by this time, probably are fossils. :D Watson might not be quite there yet.
NewTrash and Fine Folks
I’ve heard of PewDiePie, but have no idea what he does.
Jeffrey Star = pure freak show. I’ve seen pictures and headlines about him, err, her, whatever he/it is. I’d rather poke a sharp stick in my eye than watch that trash.
The other fine folks, never heard of them.

I can tell you that, but it’s not going to help:
He, umm… uploads videos of himself playing video games.
And millions of people watch them.
No, I don’t get it either.
