1. [+1,243, -104] Seems like all the celebrities who don't have anything else to do and are in that awkward B-C list tier are opening YouTube channels. They know they'll get views no matter how sh*tty their content is ㅋㅋ what an easy life
2. [+1,083, -35] Seems like YouTube pays better than most TV work
3. [+945, -28] So many celebrities going into YouTube now
4. [+63, -2] At this rate, our entire nation is going to be full of YouTubers ㅋㅋ
5. [+58, -2] YouTube's become a red ocean... so much meaningless content out there
6. [+49, -2] Nothing against her but her beauty videos are really boring ㅠㅠ
7. [+38, -3] I think it's because YouTubers like Risabae are huge now and so successful that others think they can do it too and are jumping in ㅋㅋ
8. [+26, -1] There are tons of celebrities like Kang Yoomi, Hong Yoon Hwa & Kim Min Ki, Kim Jun Ho, Kim Ji Min, A Pink's Yoon Bomi, AkMu's Soo Hyun, Hong Jin Young, etc who started YouTube channels based off of their popularity alone. But no matter how much they call it their side hobby, all their videos always include ads and they start off with 500,000 subscribers on opening day. They can easily pull in a few thousand a month and are given more promotional and ad opportunities than the other YouTubers. Why? Because they're celebrities. Their content is all the same as anything else out there too with hidden camera pranks, gags, lifestyle, beauty, and ASMR videos. Yeah, using their popularity like this is their own talent in itself but it sucks for all the YouTubers who aren't celebrities who have to struggle to hit 100,000 subscribers through consistent uploads while these celebrities hit 300,000 with one video alone. I'd be more understanding if they were more professional about a specific genre of content like Risabae but they're not at all ㅋㅋㅋ I feel like everything we learned as children is useless now... all you need is a pretty face and some popularity and you can make such easy money nowadays. Plus they have the benefit of fans who will shield you no matter what happens.
9. [+25, -5] I don't know if I'd call her pretty. Her face shape looks like a potato.
10. [+23, -0] I guess all celebrities are opening up personal channels once they go on break...
11. [+22, -0] YouTubers are so much better than living off of stream donations like live streamers. Afreeca is basically for third-tier celebrities who literally have nothing left in life to make money off of other than streaming.
12. [+15, -0] Everyone's a YouTuber now~ but then again, so many have tons of subscribers just for eating or doing make up on screen ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
