The most popular gaming channel on youtube

The main audience that subscribes, likes and comments and watches gaming channels are teenagers and young people from 14 to 30 years old. Teenagers love computer games and at the same time prefer to watch video content not on TV, as their parents do, but on the Internet, in particular, on the world’s most popular video hosting site, Youtube.

All this determines the popularity of bloggers specializing in computer games on YouTube and the gaming industry in general.

One of the reasons for the popularity of gaming channels

Computer games for many teenagers are an integral, and sometimes the most important part of life. In the virtual world of online games, they contact their peers, find friends, unite and create their own communities.

And computer games also have an anti-stress effect. They allow you to relax, forget about life's difficulties,throw out negative emotions.

In addition, a computer game allows you to recreate a situation of success. Here you can achieve your goal with an almost one hundred percent guarantee and achieve some results, which is not always possible in reality.

The gamer, overcoming new levels of the game, developing and upgrading his character, feels like a winner. And even if this is a victory in the virtual world, it is still a victory. And the feeling of success inspires, makes a person more confident and stronger.

In addition to this, a teenager or young man can share his achievements in video games with gamers like him, which increases his authority in their eyes.

However, there are a lot of games now, and they are all different. For example, there is a game called Maincraft, in which there is no specific end goal, but here the gamer is given incredible freedom of creativity and action.

You can play Minecraft as follows:single-user mode and over the network. This game is very popular among children. Essentially, this is the same constructor, only almost limitless, with many textures and mods.

With the help of some obtained items, you can make new items with new properties. Also here you can design buildings to your liking, for example, build your dream house or even an entire city - almost any idea can be realized in the world of Minecraft. And a huge number of gaming channels on Youtube are dedicated to this particular video game.

Young people choose Youtube channels instead of TV

Another important trend that is worth talking about in more detail: young people now prefer to watch videos on a desktop, tablet or smartphone, and TV is becoming a thing of the past.

Previously, the broadcast network formed a kind of family ritual, people tried to adapt to it, gathering in the living room to watch interesting programs.

However, the modern viewer himself wants to choose what he watches and at what time, he wants to influence what he watches. As a result, a person's relationship with video content becomes more individualized.

Nowadays, for the most part, people watch videos alone online, for example, in their room. And the Youtube service also allows you to like and dislike each video, comment on it and give your rating, which will be seen by many other users.

It is also noted that most people now prefer passive recreation to active recreation, so instead of walking in the fresh air they watch videos on YouTube. All this ultimately determines the popularity of talented YouTube bloggers of all stripes and directions.

Examples of popular gaming channels on YouTube

The Youtube service appeared in 2005, it was created by three people who previously worked on the payment systemPayPal. Soon this project was bought by Google and made it the most popular place for posting video files.



The site's monthly audience today is more than 1 billion people. And many of them come to watch game channels on YouTube. We can say that this is a whole separate genre in video blogging with many subgenres.

Here are a few examples of such channels (among them there are both Russian-language and foreign ones):

• boogie2988 - a very well-fed guy chops up an offending XboX game console with an ax, constantly complains about everything that happens in the field of video games, and mercilessly criticizes it.
  
  Approximately such content can be seen on his channel (boogie2988). Its author is a very famous gaming blogger whose name is Francis. He is distinguished by his voluptuous build, recognizable lisp of speech and quick temper.
  
  He just hates Sony, XboX and Nintendo. However, despite all its oddities, boogie2988 produces very adequate and competent analytics of events in the gaming industry. Sometimes you can even hear Frances singing, and it's really cute and funny.



• MrLololoshka - Roman Filchenkov is hiding under the pseudonym MrLololoshka (although in reality he is not hiding very much). This is the most famous gamer and blogger specializing in Minecraft in the Russian segment of Youtube.
  
  The guy just plays the legendary cube game or something else, films it all and posts it online. On his channel you can find many videos dedicated to various game modes and the secrets of the Minecraft world.
  
  However, in recent years, on his channel you can find reviews and walkthroughs of other computer games. The direction in which MrLolololoshka works is called let's play (which translates from English as “let'slet's play").



• CorridorDigital - the team of creators of the CorridorDigital channel makes video parodies and even entire films based on video games on YouTube.
  
  Their works include variations on the theme of Assassins Creed, Day Z, Half Life, Max Payne, Far Cry and much more. And just recently, the guys even filmed the series “Assault” for television.
  
  When creating it, as the members of Corridor Digital themselves say, they were inspired by the Battlefield video games. Interestingly, this fighting series stars Steven Ogg, who did the voice acting for GTA 5. Overall, this is a great channel for those who like game parodies and the charm of computer graphics.

• PewDiePie is the leader among video bloggers on Youtube.
  
  The PewDiePie channel is hosted by a young eccentric Swede, Felix Kjellberg. Basically, the videos posted here are walkthroughs of various video games - that is, it is made in the let's play genre.
  
  It would seem that what is interesting in watching someone else play the game? But Felix Chilberg was able to turn it into an information product that many people like.
  
  Initially, PewDiePie's videos were accompanied simply by voice-over comments, and since March 2011, most videos additionally contain recordings from a video camera, whichallow you to see Felix himself.
  
  A special feature that distinguishes PewDiePie from many other let's play players is his strong reaction to what happens during the game. This gives the audience a chance to get a good feel for what is happening on the screen.
  
  And since the main content is all sorts of action and horror games, there is always enough emotion. At the moment, that is, as of July 2017, the PewDiePie channel has more than 56 million subscribers - according to this indicator, he has overtaken Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian. Due to such popularity, the Swede’s channel was even included in the Guinness Book of Records.
