He is one of the more important online e-celebs in an industry that does 70+Billion in revenue a year. Why would it feel strange?

I mean, I wouldn't go so far as to say what KB said, but it just feels like so much of the online community is very insulated from mainstream media, especially when you remove "beautiful" people who are able to cross over to mainstream media (pop musicians, beauty bloggers, some vloggers).

Also paging mk my top bar still hangs out like, half an inch to an inch below the top of my window. It made typing this comment very difficult. It doesn't consistently hang out at the top until I hit 170% screen zoom.

Because views, revenue, whatever, Youtube remains completely fucking irrelevant to life in a way that television never was.
