Unclear why this is getting downvoted, it is accurate statement. Only 20 of the top 50 channels are not brands. Of those 20 if you exclude music channels like BTS, Blackpink, Justin Bieber, etc. you're only left with 10 channels.

- JKCalhoun 4y agoWait, didn’t Justin Bieber get his start on YouTube?
- thaumasiotes 4y agoAnd if you exclude people like that, it turns out nobody becomes famous on YouTube.

- filoleg 4y agoWell yeah. If you exclude people like him who got famous on YouTube, then it, indeed, will turn out that nobody becomes famous on YouTube. I have zero idea what your point is trying to illustrate. What's so special about Justin Bieber that disqualifies him from being counted as someone who became famous on YouTube?
- evan_ 4y agoJustin Bieber came to prominence via YouTube.
- alphabetting 4y agoI think the point still stands. 6 of the top 10 on Youtube got their large followings being making content for Youtube. 0% of the top 50 on Twitter are primarily known for their tweets.
- thaumasiotes 4y ago> 0% of the top 50 on Twitter are primarily known for their tweets. Why limit yourself to the top 50? 0% of all Twitter users are primarily known for their tweets. Tweets are, by design, unsuitable for publishing content. They're useful for advertising content you publish somewhere else.
- koonsolo 4y agoI know for (indie) games, twitter is a lagging indicator. That means you don't get famous through twitter, but twitter is a lagging indicator of the success on Steam. I can look up the source of this statement if you're interested.
- thaumasiotes 4y agoI don't really see the relevance? We can rephrase your comment as "if people like your game, sometimes they follow your Twitter account". That's just an example of using Twitter to advertise your other content.
- koonsolo 4y agoMarketing wise the difference is huge. Say you release a new game, and want to know which marketing channels to focus on. As it turns out, Twitter will not give you much new customers that haven't come into contact with your game before. I agree with you that once you have those followers, you can leverage that with other content. But building up your audience mainly needs to happen through other channels.
- neweroldguy 4y agoThanks for clarifying, this is an insightful interpretation.

- MisterSandman 4y agoJustin Bieber literally got his start from YouTube. BTS and Black pink would also not be as popular as they are without YouTube. The original comment was a bit miseleading, but you have to admit that there is no equivalent to Pewdiepie on Twitter.
- threeseed 4y ago> BTS and Black pink They would still be popular though. YouTube hasn't even been that popular in South Korea until recently.
- filoleg 4y agoBTS was popular in SK way before they got big on YouTube. But their massive explosion of popularity in the west (and outside of SK in general) happened perfectly in sync with them getting big on YouTube.
