What does it mean, though, to be a YouTube celebrity? A lot of the charm of YouTube is its amateur nature -- most of the videos seem populated with ordinary people....YouTube is a kind of reality TV without the corporate filter -- at least, that's the idea.

Retrieved 2007-09-14.In addition to fans (and some purported stalkers), some YouTube celebrities have corporate sponsors, who pay for product placement in their clips or production of online ads. Some have quit their day jobs or changed careers to accommodate their YouTube filming schedules. A handful are also official "YouTube Partners," meaning the company thinks they are so valuable that it cuts them a share of ad revenue.

Only 20 to 30 video producers, including YouTube celebrities like Lonelygirl15, HappySlip and smosh, have been invited to join. But the initiative marks a shift in how the No. 1 online video site treats content created by its users....The company declined to discuss how it would split ad revenue with content creators.
