Short YouTube conversation (uploaded by Dylan Vanas, March 12, 2023) in which Speaker A recounts an anecdote from filming (on Shark Week) where viewers recognized and reacted enthusiastically to an on-screen personality (the anecdote mentions a child calling someone “Mr. Beat”). Speaker B generalizes from this to argue that YouTubers and social-media influencers (named examples: Aut, Logan Paul, Mr. Beast) have become the new celebrities, displacing traditional stars like Beyonce and Drake as the public’s primary targets for attention. The piece notes this trend will likely grow as social platforms become the main content channels.

Chapters

One time I was filming for Shark Week or whatever. I don't remember why, but I was with the host of the show, like the shark guy. I didn't really know who he was, but he was really cool, super fun. And we see a dad and a kid, they're walking this way and they both like, light up. And the dad goes up to him, it's like, holy shit, I love your discovery show. And the little kid comes over and says, holy shit, I love you, Mr. Beat.
It's crazy how YouTubers and influencers are the new celebrity. People are no longer rushing to get Beyonce's autograph or Drake's autograph. Instead they're racing to get Aut, Logan, Paul, Mr. Beast and these modern day influencers. I think this is only going to get more common as YouTube and social media becomes the main form of content consumeration.
