YouTube has been in existence since 2005 when three former PayPal workers wanted an easy way to find and share videos. Since the first YouTube video, which was 18 seconds long and low quality, YouTube has grown into the empire it is today. I don't know many people who have not seen at least one cat video, music video, Do It Yourself video, cooking demonstration, or movie trailer via this site. It's symbol the red play button is recognized immediately and is a symbol that leads into the homes and neighborhoods of thousands upon thousands of people from all over the world.
I recently was reintroduced to YouTube in a way I vaguely knew existed. My 15 year old sister always talks about the “Youtubers” she watches on the site. At first I was a little confused. I didn't know what classified someone as a “YouTuber,” but my sister was happy to educate me! She told me about the people on YouTube that have their own channels and post videos on various subject matter. They put their lives on YouTube for many purposes; some for fun, some to educate people about certain things, some are trying to demonstrate something, and others are trying to bring about change.
I recently discovered a YouTube channel that does just that. With the tagline "changing the world by being normal," Will Shepherd and R.J. Aguiar are a couple who do daily vlogs on their YouTube channel shep689. They give you a glimpse into their everyday lives because they are trying to show the world (or just the people who take the time to watch) just how normal they are even though they happen to be two guys in a committed relationship. Will and RJ have over 175,000 subscribers, of which I am one, and since beginning to daily vlog in January of 2012, their videos collectively have over 34 million views. Below is the intro for their channel.

Will and RJ are a couple that many of their followers
(myself included) look up to in many ways and all for different reasons. I would imagine that each one of their 175,000+ subscribers has their own reasons why they watch Will and RJ’s daily vlogs, but here are mine along with some quotes I found that match.
