Vidcon 2010: What Is YouTube's Future?

[Gemanite55]

Hey, I was in this video. WTF WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN!?!

[2011doctorwhofan]

and auto tune the news and the other vlog brother

[2011doctorwhofan]

vlogbrothers (john Green) they where the only ones i knew

[2011doctorwhofan]

@2011doctorwhofan and shay carl in the background

[m1k3y3210]

thumbs up if you were only paying attention on who was in the background.

[MuslimboyMohsen]

Maaan why do I live in Denmark !

[redfoxbennaton]

Douchebag hipsters! Everything on youtube will be in the future is only corporate takeover. Go back to paying your rent and drink your PBR. There will be also the mass of youtube racists too.

[markisonlin3]

I also live In Australia, going to vicon would be a massive financial undertaking for me.

[ginabunny10]

Omg Mark from Barelypolitical at 2:18 !!!!

[quosmo1]

this is really old

[yamazaki123456789]

Awesome!!

[IWantMyVisionBack]

I came to YouTube to escape Television. But now YouTube is just a similiar medium of Television.

The biggest YouTube stars are given scripts and told what videos to make and what to do. They're Merely Actors.

YouTube is Dead. To Me..

[Megumix33]

@IWantMyVisionBack y think things so complicated? i feel that most importantly youtubers does vids ranging from the crappiest to the coolest that can blow ur mind jus by watching it which i think is something unique of youtube and not really available on TV and is highly addictive =D

jus enjoy and dont think too far =)

p.s ohh ya btw this is just my views as well, no right or wrong and no offence as well ! =D

[luc59457]

@IWantMyVisionBack Youtube is dead to me too ;)

[redfoxbennaton]

@IWantMyVisionBack You came to escape here to watch 10 second videos of a clip from Rudolf the rednose reigndeer say FUCK YOU! Thats what you came for,.

[lunaschannel]

LIVELAVALIVE/mitchel davis IS FAT!

[Xsweetsugar1]

@lunaschannel not anymore! thankfully hes back to normal.

[pete275]

I need to see some cats on skateboards

[chizorg]

i recognized more people in the background than the actual interviewees

[billtvmacon]

I'm frightened that Hollywood would insist that a movie about YouTube would have to have have Michael Douglas in it. 

[TheFlyingCookies]

I like watching the background and seeing all those popular youtubers :P

[TheTemplemans]

Good Stuff. Vidcon 2011 FTW Can't wait

[ckXcore]

dan dobi is in the background at one point!

All of these people are awesome. And by all of these people I mean the people in the background too. VidCon was an amazing event and it definitely showed us the future.

[Tony07UK]

End of line job = become a Bimbo reporter!

[subtrafusel]

Wow Molly you're made to be around a lot of strange looking, incredibly awkward and weird people. I'm not meaning to judge but I can actually see the 'cringiness' in the air. I don't envy you, really. I hope your pay is worth it.

[jordanthewizard]

Since Hollywood is making a movie about Facebook, how long till one about YouTube is made?

[OperationNerm]

@jordanthewizard A movie about youtube would be awesome.

[phillyphan32992]

Not all of our media will be online. There's something relaxing about sitting down and watching whatever news program comes on, and not worrying about seeing it from the beginning. Going to the movies with friends is much more fun than just watching a movie online.

[dragon757575]

the blond is soo fuckable

[Birdboy029]

Cool. :)

[iOnlySignIn]

Molly looks cute from every angle. ^^

[itskpham]

Is Vidcon a gathering for youtube stars ?

[crazynoob3]

I walk down the streets in my neighborhood and people shout : Oh look its that crazynoob dude, the kid who freeruns

[akira357]

OMFG...they interviewed livelavalive... the future youtube now a guaranteed of failure

more fucking retards and no talent fags on the internet...great... I totally go to youtube to see all their fuck fest videos spam the recommended page.

"I will be able to pay rent"

-THERE WE go thats sum up everthing here, you watch and subscribed to these faggets you're paying their fucking rents. So they can sit at home to make more shit videos, while you work your ass off at work. FAIL ASS

[Zetaman6666]

Molly is so damn cute

[BAMFdude15]

@Zetaman6666 agreed

[XlovesXtoXspoogeX]

Videodrome anyone?

[degeneratgambler]

hey dont forget all us conspiracy heads!...i hope theres room for us in the future of youtube!....oh yeah check out some wacky shit on my channel... peace!

[jstnhnh]

Molly is Youtube's future.

[Probewitch]

The future is comming.

[EnavSounds]

@mini14tx1 im totally agree... some time comments are better than the video it self

[youbemonkey]

i was the 13337 th viewer i feel good now

[Olsen4343]

13,337 ha.

[halowarrior1000]

1:18 wtf?! WHAT THE F**K? and did I see the anoying Tounge brush guy?

[lbmixpro]

Makes me wonder if the FCC will ever try to censor content. It's great right now that people are self-aware of it, and voluntarily make their content clean, but eventually it may not be like that.

[palmist81]

Molli hoooooooooot

[duck185]

your sexy.

[nathanredd]

I'd like to see vids with some of those guys getting haircuts

[faab007]

ugh those people..

[ufomonkey]

tha't hot :D...

[Aendrix]

marion!

[VirtualCentral]

@mini14tx1 exactly i think what they should do is that when you get into the highest rated comments they should alert you that it has went into there

[Danelleya]

who the hell are all these people?

[zeromagic]

FINALY NANALEW

[framk20]

mitchel davis looks fatter in this vid, WTF?

[TisbearA]

@framk20: The backpack, maybe?

[TeoEve94]

"If you like youtube and your not at vidcon, where are you?" Well. I'm in Bulgaria you moron. It's in Europe and as much as I love youtube and all the great people here, I can't afford to go to a gathering for 3 days in the USA.

[starguard]

Spoken by True Geeks

[SaukaKumagae]

I love when my favorite youtubers appear in the same vid. Go John Green!

[stinkyslinky432]

Can someone send me a link to that white guy punching the black guy?

[alyssaishness]

@stinkyslinky432 look up epic beard man

[chanlizard123]

@stinkyslinky432 It's called epic beard man 

[peesemould]

Fuck up Orabrush.

[Joekitty001]

WOW, it looked like there were all of 20 people there....soooo huge!

[martinaee]

Wait... so the guy at the beginning wanted to show that there is more to the internetz than amberlamps and sk8board-cat????

.....righhhhhhhhht *rolls eyes*

[JoshRimer]

Hey Molly, was cool to meet another (former) Vancouverite at VidCon! And I agree with the peeps in this vid - YouTube is only gonna get bigger!

[Blargaldalien]

Hello,Molly.

You Tube does need video blogs. This is the one way to get the pulse of the persons who are driven enough to post a real life slice of their lives, and opinions about their world.

[AosZas]

Vlogs suck ass

[Scotvenom]

Is anyone else less interested about what content there's going to be versus how the infrastructure will change? The most interesting comment for me was the throwaway one about it being more corporate and that being good so people could pay their rent...

[33dgtp]

Starting to have an American accent, just about to hit "Unsubscribe" ... :((

[imnotuniqueimmonique]

I really want John's shirt.

[maplesyrupgl]

You're starting to pick up an American accent. I want to cry.

[olesto]

the fat emo is gay. Get the stones

[silenmage]

Ads are what keeps Youtube free and copyright laws are what makes Youtube full of original content rather than illegally posted tv show episodes. Now you dumbasses just stop bitching about it.

[Delta2099]

i would say youtube its the future but its not.. all this advertising and copyright laws its making closer and closer to TV...

[666colorvision666]

ive never heard of any of those people.

[SaukaKumagae]

@666colorvision666 You need to get in more.

[JosephCheetah]

Was there anyone at this convention who is not a Youtuber? How can you take any of their comments seriously when they are really just advertising their shows. I'm interested in knowing what the consumers think of Youtube's future. The people who are not in the club. The one's who are likely to spend money on the products that are advertised on Youtube's pages. Historically, profit has been what ultimately decides whether a form of media becomes the standard.

[SaukaKumagae]

@JosephCheetah Many people there do not make their own videos. A large portion of them are just people who watch youtube and wanted to meet/see the people they watch online. It was open to anyone with the means of buying a ticket and getiing there. Rocketboom just interviewed people with their own video blogs.

[Bucknik]

@JosephCheetah Google has analytical software that keeps scary accurate data about what people like, where they're from, what they watch, etc.. "Google Analytics" is a very powerful tool for advertisers to target a specific market niche. Look into it if you are really interested in that. It isn't just for Youtube. You can use it to target advertising for just about any site.

[JustCallMeMrsDarcy]

John <3

[ST1RFRYTV]

@themightythor1212 #FTW Nice video!

[NickIllusion]

I like lolcats and other fun shit more than those retards making shitty videos.

[selvmordspilot]

@NickIllusion : wow, you sound like a genius.

[ChaosBW]

You know what I think should happen to youtube?

It should be turned back to normal.

That, or at least stop fucking around with us, this has to be the longest running April fools joke ever, it's not even April anymore and youtube still looks like it got kicked in the teath, videos are still being removed due to false flagging and ADS ARE EVERYWHERE.

[JonnoStrife]

John Green is so awkward when he talks to Molly.... Awww Johnny.

[gortair]

That orabrush guy really pisses me off.

[alecton]

All my media comes from online already

[sccrwit2]

everyone talks about internet killing TV but i will kill myself if that happens because i like the well produced and thought out shows...not the reality shit but shows like dexter and breaking bad. if like the TV people don't move to the internet I kind of hope it doesn't flourish.

[jumpmanhat]

all these people come off absolutely retarded.

[mike82y]

these guys should stop doing idiotic videos, half of them are just trash

[mike82y]

taking internet seriously lol

[Alzikspinner]

Oh thor mighty thor!

[church348]

i think they should stop fucking around and deal with the CONJOPI bullshit and fix the falseflagging

[bomberguy06]

well I'm not a vidcon because I am a loner & not an entertainer. but i applaud these people, congrats

[dirwund]

Corporate take over? Really? You're an inspiring piece of work, that's for sure.

[rizwan1983]

I think Molly has slimmed down.

[MrIonization]

2:12 kinda looked like he had an eye patch

[burrturr]

I'm a Youtube whore, every subscriber i have subscribed to I have seen all their videos but that doesn't stop me from watching everyone else's videos I haven't subscribed to. ^^

[TrueBlueAustralian]

Go the mighty thor.!!!

[heftybefty2]

everyone she interviewed was a geek

[flyingemu27]

This is all assuming that net neutrality holds up...

[Hyperactivexp]

Does anyone happen to have The Vlogbrothers PO Box????? D:

[cheezmedia]

talking to a camera is not art. llaaammmeeee

[SaukaKumagae]

@cheezmedia Getting people to watch you talk to a camera is an art.

[sailorfuku9000]

1:34-

Turn that 'every man' into a 'BEVERY MAN'! BEVERY stands for BEVERAGE!!!

[LversusKira]

Keep the ads on the page and not interupting the video's.

[darkelivrio]

the difference between youtube and tv is the corporate companies and all that. youtube is about connecting people, and when you watch youtube videos you get the sense of connection between you and the video especially in vlogs, thats what makes it interesting

[megasin1]

"if you like youtube and your not at vidcon, where are you?" in europe im $700 of pure plane and tickets away asshole, you pay and ill be there otherwise shhhhhh let me watch from afar

[slayer66616]

@megasin1

Yeah that ignorant cunt, right?

[CWOhobbes]

@megasin1 I'm in Paris and I agree with you. Pay for my round trip plane ticket of $1600 and I'll be there. On second thought, I'd rather stay here a few more weeks until I have to get back home to Los Angeles.

[dattHoppi]

@megasin1 Yeah, I'm stuck in Europe, too.

[marcuelcajon]

Vidcon consist of a lot of males with really gay haircuts, a couple hot chicks, and Molly.

[Prytonis]

Molly makes me smile :-)

[windchimes098]

if you notice, when she's talking to hank, little girls are jumping up and down behind them. why? because john is talking to them. :)

[atalina08]

And Prince declares the internet is dead?! Bullshit...

[Haileo20]

OMG more VIDCON just stop Rocketboom.

[TheGreatSteve]

Anybody else wanna stick a bridle on BLT and ride her around the room?

[UnOxonien]

I'd be intrigued to see some family wage-earning figures and education level figures behind successful YouTubers. The reference in this video to it being a site for the 'everyman' seems somewhat irksome, in that it can't quite be the case.

[gmhoward]

He said smart, interesting, creative content. Where's this guy getting his internet from?

[Gemanite55]

ROCKETBOOM! You spelled my first, last, and username wrong... T.T

[boomerxxx]

Lol, ridicules.

[derekcolman]

I seriously believe that all visual media will be only on the internet within 10 years. All the guys in the pub that I have said this to, think I am nuts. That's all TV channels, and cinemas recieving their movies via internet streaming.

[Kossimer]

@derekcolman Close, but the increasing number of 3D movies and home 3D appliances will probably keep those forms of media alive.

[nmukerjee27]

I am on the East coast.

VidCon2011 Location Request: Not across the country.

[TomHendricksMusea]

Youtube is the new tv.

[markiduval]

@TomHendricksMusea Pretty much. When people I know talk about what shite "reality tv" shows they're watching, I think, pfft, I have the internet. I win.

[gokudabomb1]

so

it's a meeting of the partners?

don't i get enough of them in the featured videos, front page, and unwanted emails?

stop forcing them down my throat

[gokudabomb1]

stop false copyright claims and allow copyrighted material in the form of parodies and transformative work (for more than the partners, because they're making a profit off copyrighted material, not us) because we are protected by U.S. law or everyone but the partners will switch to blip!!!!!!!!

[Fighting31st]

so..... many.... bad.... haircuts.... ahhhhhh!

[xboyx16]

yea... i am in estonia... but i love youtubew and i would be there if i were closer :D... and the dude from auto tune the news was there.. hell yea dude XD... awesome... =)

[iHateToRegister]

Youtubes future is not available in you country because it contains some content owned by a weird intellectual property organization.

[joen0411]

More cats on skateboards.

[JobDDT]

Nerd circle jerk.

[mattblack77nz]

hehe...cats on skateboards.....:)

[artvandelay13]

EW EW EW IT'S THE ORABRUSH GUY. He's like... worse than Fred.

[MonterreyLegend]

the future of youtube is porn



[Razear]

The future of YouTube is to replace cable TV.

[1acroyear1]

Molly will be crowned the Queen of the Internet and will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity.

[1acroyear1]

The FCC will take over and regulate the internet and web video content and it will suck.

And there will be a lot of commercials.

[tneri8]

Truly nascent stage; whatever the future I hope there's always a place here for the young & goofy.

[OrlyYaRlyK]

Rocketboom used to be good, what happened? =\

[equalcharliebrown]

Stupid fucking orabrush guy, he's the maxi-pad commerical of youtube.

DIE!

[13495]

Thanks John and Hank for creating such and awesome con :D Nerdfighters FTW!

[EmberflyLayouts]

mitchell davis looks like a fat chick.

[Vexed34]

I miss the days when Rocketboom's focus was on Molly and her interesting tidbits. Too much nerding out here lately.

[linkg13]

Is it just me, or does Mitchell Davis look a bit...larger?

[YOitsNat]

@linkg13 yeah he does. He has been a little bit husky for a while. In one of his videos he was wearing a cardigan and his man boobs were protruding.

[linkg13]

@YOitsNat Thought so, I havnt seen his videos for a while so this was a bit of a shock :P

lol...moobs are funny XD

[ContinuumXT]

Totally sketch is so not funny.

[MichaelHowrie]

I think often the future is just mor of the present. But I can't help but wonder what the hell is going to happen to some vloggers? If this basically is their lives then... will they be vlogging into their 50s? Not that this would be bad (:

[GmasterRED]

YouTube is a narcissists utopia.

[shaurz]

@GmasterRED I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

[kittehjam]

someone mentioned the future is corporate.. if that happens, most of us will probably stop watching as it will be exactly like the tv we escaped from to come here.

here's to freedom of expression

[zengrz]

I M WATCHING MOLLY!

[spongah]

if you build it they will come

[ChiefRepublic]

Answer to Totally Sketch question:

I'm in my mamas basement jerking off to Molly's video.

[ChiefRepublic]

I love how they showed violence as an example of racy videos. Why don't they just show a close-up of Molly's boobs.

[cricketbat08]

Television is Coca Cola. Youtube is Pepsi.

Television is Levi's. Youtube is Wranglers.

Television is Caviar.  Youtube is chewing gum.

[eJeremyTV]

@cricketbat08 I think I know what you're trying to say, despite the first two analogies.

[cricketbat08]

@eJeremyTV In my clumsy way, I was trying to say that it will take many years for Youtube to compete with television. There are millions of people in the world who have no access to computers!

[thefranstastics]

I think three things may happen with online video. 1) Pay channels or subscriptions, similar to the way cable charges premiums for HBO, etc. 2) An increase in targeted content, tailored just for you, based on who you are and what you're interested in, serving you what you like to watch. 3) Web browsers expanding beyond computers and mobile devices, into our living rooms and other parts of our lives. Goodbye cable and satellite... ALL video will be online.

[optemoz]

Thumbs up if everytime u see Vidcon, you think it says Vicodin.. LOL or maybe its because i like drugs

[MoarHitlerParodies]

If the future of YouTube is going to limit favourite videos to 650 videos only, I'm watching a very dark future.

[B3ND0G]

OMG Look at all these nerds.This is a new level of awesomeness.

[Forssa1]

"I see... ads. Ads everywhere."
