Looking through articles on older YouTubers might be helpful when looking for sources too, especially big early YouTubers like Smosh etc. Alduin2000 ( talk) 03:29, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Social impact of YouTube may have some information that overlaps with content that should be in this article. I'm not sure Wikipedia policy on overlap of information, should it be copied over and attributed or...? Alduin2000 ( talk) 18:34, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
An update is needed on the introduction paragraph, where it says Pewdiepie is the most subscribed YouTube channel. T-series surpassed Pewdiepie again, and is leading by over 500,000 subscribers. 107.77.214.187 ( talk) 15:12, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
An update is needed in the "Influence" paragraph, to the left. T-Series is, "globally the first Youtube channel to cross 100 million subscribers." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C44:6800:1C38:DCBD:98CA:9DB1:59F7 ( talk) 21:58, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of YouTuber's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 08:52, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
For those editing this article: the following reference may be useful to you:
Says "...main or only platform..." which seems to suggest that if someone who was well-known before starting to publish on YouTube cannot become a YouTuber unless they become more well-known for YouTube, and also that someone can cease being a YouTuber because they become (more) well-known for something else. The reference does not seem to support this meaning. Also, judging degrees of well-known-ness could be tricky.
Going to the reference, and following the link to the full-text pdf soon gives:
"The name YouTubers refers to video bloggers (vloggers) who regularly post videos on their personal YouTube channels."
so any regular poster on YouTube would qualify (though I think the word "regular" is a bit tricky: does it mean "(regular and) frequent", and if so, how frequent?
Also, people in WP often have a list of things they are known for, examples: Ben Fogle, Florence Nightingale.

User ZimZalaBim is seeking to preserve the misleading text "A YouTube personality and/or influencer, more commonly known as a YouTuber, is an individual who produces videos on the video-sharing platform YouTube,[1] specifically whose main or only platforms are one or multiple YouTube channels, personalized subpages of the platform. ZimZalaBim refuses to allow edits that modify this misleading text to include any competition to YouTube and rejects sources that so modify the erroneous text (Washington Examiner, Toronto Mail and Globe and Business Insider). It appears ZimZalaBim either is unaware of changes to the video-platform industry since 2021 or seeks create an impression via outdated text that "influencers" on YouTube are solely tied to that platform and not competitive platforms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avica1998 ( talk • contribs) 21:29, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
