  • The most popular gay YouTubers (Chris Crocker, William Sledd, What The Buck, Davey Wavey) seem to reinforce a stereotypical perception of gayness (i.e. flamboyant, queeny, effete, or all of the above). I don't criticize them for being who they are, but it's telling that the general public mostly likes to watch gay men who they can easily pigeonhole and who aren't going to challenge their preconceptions about sexuality.

  • Great insight there, I totally agree.

  • I loved the video you guys did (you were SERVING IT, bitch)! What I loved most is that it was all inclusive to anyone who wanted to join, instead of being a "Cool Kids Invite Only" thing -- which is what I think YouTube is turning into.

    Nothing against Davey Wavey or his pecs, I'm sure he's deep too. I just remark that it's a looksist culture we're in, and in this age where anyone with a webcam can claim web-celebrity, talent or no talent, the PRETTY ONES usually get there first.

  • I think that it comes down to looks, personality, and content is probably at the very bottom of the heap. At least that is what it seems like in the beginning. It's troublesome to me when I make a video and some random subscriber just tells me that I'm beautiful... Makes me realize why people like Davey Wavey are so popular. Well shit, I better hit the gym... As for your boyfriend, I really think he has more subs because he is a tall blonde swede with an accent. Does content matter??

  • My boyfriend's videos only caught my attention b/c HELLO -- look at him! He's dreamy! :) That's not to say that his actual content isn't interesting and layered but he always says the bulk of his viewers are older gay men in their 50's and young twinkies, so you know... Looks are a huge part of why subscriptions and popularity build.

  • You are popular! Youtube has become two tier levels: those that are in it for the business and those that are "real" connections. Seems the more outlandish you are, the more popular. I never heard of Sled(sp?) till someone on the view mentioned him and he got tv promos. I like people who are real and honest. I am becoming very disenchanted with those who are here for self promotion which is their right to create opportunities but I am just not that into them. :)

  • Personalities like William Sledd and Lisa Nova and Ysabella Brave and WhattheBuck and HappySlip are amazing to me, they've CHANGED the rules of fame and have proven you can make yourself a star. I don't connect with that kind of channel tho, so like you, I'm "just not that into them" either.

    And I'm not popular, I've just got my core audience locked in -- which I'm still astounded by! What are all you strangers doing here??

  • Damn -- really very sorry that Nick moved out! Hope you both will be ok. You were an inspiration to many. But reality can change for reasons we not always understand. Take care of yourself in the coming days. And know that there are a lot of people who care about both of you and want the best to be yours.

  • This is so true hehe. I unfortunately don't watch Davey Wavey's videos all, but i think if you're good looking like that and gay. People will definitely stare! and sorry i didnt add you little big chris on my other account, my boyfriend deleted it! haha

  • hello i'm a new subscriber. i was researching the master cleanse and saw you did it. i've done it before and gained all the weight back. did you gain any weight back after and was it hard to stay on a healthy diet? i'm going to go back on it next week it's so hard though when someone like me likes to drink!! oh well! by the way your super !! ;)

  • Because it tastes good and can be cheaper than water (if you buy it bottled, which you shouldn't)

  • Why are you Americans always drinking soda ?!

    Here in France we only drink water.

    Soda's only occasional.

  • You might try iced tea with a dash of sugar (or in my case diet sweetener). So much better than pop.

  • i love you <3

  • how much weight have u gained since the master cleanse

  • Thanks! :)

    ~mai~

  • go to youtube home... scroll down all the way to the bottom... under "programs" it should say "Partnerships"

    click on that and it tells you all about it.. basically gives you benefits like the pretty bar... you do, however, have to meet certain requirements.

  • Yeah -- It seems to be true. Nick put up a video two days ago saying he was moving out. Only a few people got to see it as he took it down after a few hours. He said he was staying in New York and moving out on Tuesday
