Influencer Creep & The Return of Banal Vlogging
Description
How did an early YouTube vlog style return to popularity after a generation of TikTok and YouTube creators including Emma Chamberlain and Charli D'amelio went mainstream?
On today's episode, Jamie and Josh discuss how early YouTube creators like Tyler Oakley pivoted from creating content for family and friends to developing a public personality that came to define influencer culture at-large – and how a new generation of creators are documenting the banal and mundane in their content.
