1. Tanacon was a convention made to spite the long-time main YouTube convention, Vidcon, by Tana Mongeau and a company called GoodTimes, run by Michael Weist. Since it was made by these early-20something-year-olds that have no idea how to run an event, they tried to cram 5,000 teenagers into a venue made for 1,000, left anyone who couldn’t fit in the sun and used false advertising to convince visitors to buy tickets rather than taking the free tickets.

2. Shane Dawson won this year’s Creator of the Year, ironically for his new documentary-style of content that included covering Tanacon and looking into the infamous frat boy, Jake Paul.

3. Ryan ToysReview. This seven-year-old boy reviews children’s toys, gaining £18 million in 2018. By attracting the parent demographic with maybe the safest content on YouTube, he eliminates problems with ad revenue and sponsors and attracts viewers that are okay with watching the same video 20 times a day, as we all did at one point.
