I'm not talking about those ultra big youtuber like pewdiepie etc. whereby they are already deemed as celebrity. (then again, even famous A list celebrity could 1 day go broke)


I'm talking about those Malaysian Youtuber. Especially those under 1mil subs.

Can they actually sustain? Can they do Youtube forever and if not where can they go in the future or perhaps unemployed and broke?

It is not uncommon for Youtuber to just fall cause it happened to some youtuber (not including those intentionally dropped out like kevjumba etc.)

Basically, such channel would be like Peter Chao. He had millions of views last time and is considered one of the big youtuber during his peak but now... his channel rake in less than 20k views for each video. Not sure if he can still sustain even with 800k subscriber but he still makes video and have side gigs.

There are many more but Peter Chao is the only one came to mind. Anyhow, they are westerner youtubers... they tend to somehow have some side gigs cause media and entertainment is still viable is those countries.


In Malaysia however, I do not think there are much opportunity in entertainment apart from youtube.


Hence how would you guys think these Malaysian youtubers will do 10 years down the road?

In western countries maybe la... but in malaysia what kind of celebrity can they become? Influencers?

All the Malaysian YouTubers... making those comedy skits

Do people really find it entertaining? If you people had to pay some sort of money to view their videos would you even view it?

I felt like their contents are just like 9Gag's meme post... just to waste some spare time

With or without them... I don't see they make any difference in anyone's life.

So far, I only find Epicsm video some what watchable as in if I want to just knock 10mins off my spare time... can still watch them.

I find the other Malaysian youtubers very lame and stupid.

EpicAsian - WTF? no seriously... who watches these kinds of video... it's just some voice over with a overly thick Malaysian accent

LimBigYong - Very chinese type of video... cringy and lame... and that flamboyant sissy character... damn cringy as hell..

DanKhoo/JinnyBoy/MingThing - Basically the banana type of youtube channel. All their videos are god damn cliche and lame. Cringy as hell as well.

>DanKhoo videos... watched a few of them... really cringe the shit out of me at how cliche his videos are. Seriously lack creativity... I think that dan khoo guy never really appear in the videos but when he does... WTF man... that guy can't act to save his life... macam some ugly skinny geek trying hard to not look embarrassing while at the same time wants to be funny... WTF?
>JinnyBoy... din't really watch his videos but I see he tries to branch out to some food related video ... the spicy food thing... which was ok...
>MingThing ... I used to enjoy their video like Epicsm but they aren't active lately and they have moved towards those emo films.. which is very lame..

Honestly though...

YOUTUBE began to suck badly since they introduced the partner system (a.k.a paying youtubers)

a lot of them jump into the bandwagon just so they can earn easy money.

Last time when youtubers doesn't earn money, they were more entertaining.

Look at smosh.... when it was just ian and anthony... they were funny as hell when they did it as a hobby kind of thing. Once it was monetised.... so many shit drama (company buy over.. lose production control etc.).... now they produces SHIT video like every xxx ever and those laugh challenge videos... felt like they are just putting out videos for the sake of youtube money.
