12:51p - Charity Gate ver 2.0: Youtube Style?
C&P'd from ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif) wank_report, and here since I found myself debating if youtube was a fandom or not. Many thanks to the mouse for posting it.
Relatively well known youtuber kimberleigh recently posted a video lamenting the death of her computer and therefore her inability to post anymore videos.
Other youtube members, including some high profile users set up a "charity event" to raise money to buy kimberleigh a new computer called Bobs4Kim in which members of the youtube community pay $3 to join a chat with "youtube celebrities" of varying notoriety, including Blunty3000 a high profile vid blogger.
This garnered a fair amount criticism and wank from many youtubers with people accusing the high profile members of using their status for profiteering and scamming money from other users so they can buy stuff for their friends. Among the criticizers is another 'youtube celebrity' rickyste aka 'Lazydork' who posted the video "Don't go to Bobs4Kim!": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiN-17zadpA
( It could be worse. It could be charity for iPods )
