100 Happy Days Day 20: YouTube Obsession

Source 1; Source 2; Source 3; Source 4

Today, I woke up with what I can only hope is a 24-hour stomach bug. Whatever it is I'm feeling, it has not been nice and has caused me to spend the entire day in bed. At this point in the post, you may well be wondering how on earth I can turn this around to constitute a description of happiness. Well, I have only one word for you and that word is YouTube! It was actually YouTube that led me to blogging in the first place, after spending hours on end watching as many Zoella videos as possible and subsequently finding the link to her blog. I think I came across her channel one day by searching something about "cute hairstyles" or the like and instantly fell in love with her videos. But since then my love for YouTube has escalated. Most mornings and nights I'll spend half an hour or so before I get up or before I go to sleep catching up on what I've missed. 

My favourite channels of the moment are:

Zoe Sugg and her channels Zoella and MoreZoella

Alfie Deyes and his channels PointlessBlog and PointlessBlogTv

Louis Cole and his channel FunForLouis

And just today, I've really gotten into the SACCONEJOLYs. It seems like an impossible task at the moment to start from where they began since they've been vlogging everyday for years now so I decided to begin with when they moved to England and am slowly catching up. My favourite style of YouTube videos are definitely vlogs. I know a lot of people criticise this style and the people who watch them saying things like "who on earth would want to watch people merely going about their daily life" (they'd probably put it in more rude terms than that). However, I find them interesting and entertaining and I don't see a problem with that. If you don't enjoy that kind of thing that's fair enough but there's no need to judge those who do. The simple fact is YouTubers make a hell of a lot of people happy and what's wrong with that? I will never understand why people feel the need to leave disgustingly rude comments on videos rather than just moving along and doing something they find enjoyable. They're the ones who look silly for wasting their time on something they don't like and starting a hopeless argument with fans.

Rant over...
