How does one become a YouTuber

[TerrorSperg99]

Been thinking of making YouTube videos what are the traits that successful content creators share and what are behaviours that turns them into lolcows

You must challenge a current Youtuber for the title then defeat them in single combat.
Be warned that you await the same fate someday should you succeed.

#1 is luck and #2 is making videos that keep people's attention. Doesn't really matter the quality, you're just trying to fit into a niche. #1 is way more important than #2 though

Well the first step is you have to be a huge faggot, so you’ve got that down.

I know a lot of it luck I guess I was just asking is there any personality traits like being very down to earth that correlate with gaining and maintaining a large fanbase

One becomes a Youtuber by making videos. One becomes a popular Youtuber by making videos that people want to watch, and by being lucky enough that people notice those videos amid the endless stream of garbage churned out by wannabe Youtubers just like yourself. Start by trying to be somebody that people like to be around in general, unless you want to be known for drama and you want your career to end with you being sacrificed to the corn when the drama scene slows down. Make videos because you want to make them, not because you want to be Internet Famous. Be self-aware enough to recognize whether people might like your videos — to put it another way, make videos that you yourself would like to watch, and make sure you’re not so autistic that nobody else would ever want to see that shit. Be appreciative of any feedback you receive, positive or negative, because even saying “lol this video is shit” takes more effort than simply clicking to something else. Expect to fail at being popular; the odds are against you even if your videos are good.

And god help you if you don’t have a pleasant voice.
