Lavanya (lavanyas) | 191 comments Hi friends!
Now a days that we all are connected through social media, we know the amount of progress the social media has done!
For once, I couldn't control myself on creating a wierd topic, B b but! I wanted to ask you:
Who your favourite youtuber is?

Do you follow any youtuber?

Do you like spending time on YouTube for entertainment, rather than TV???

o.O Just curious o.O

Prity Malhotra | 14 comments You will find this comment of mine a bit useless but I follow Great Legend KRK for his funny movie reviews :-D & SDE entertainment for their Animated Movie spoofs :-)


message 3: by Priya (new)

Priya | 3 comments I do! I spend more watching YouTube than I do watching Tv.

I don't have any one favorite youtuber...I follow all the big ones (well, not the REALLY big ones) and I follow a lot of booktubers too.

I'm so glad this dicussion exists!

message 9: by Pooja (new)

Pooja (poojamahesh) | 45 comments I follow some of the booktubers on youtube (Perseus Project, read susie read among others). I also watch a few of Superwoman's videos and I recently came across a duo who do satirical/funny reviews of movies they've watched. I think it's called pretentious movie reviewers.

People who post videos to talk about books they've read, want to read, talk about the books they have and other book related stuff. Instead of writing blogs, they put up videos on youtube.

Pretenious Movie Reviews. I think it is uploaded under the username Kannan Gill.

Read Susie Read, ReadingBukowski, Little Book Owl, Peruse Project, Jesse The Reader, Mercy's Bookish Musings are a few of my favorite book-tubers. You can get linked to other book-tubers through the suggestions that Youtube usually gives. The community on youtube is massive, and there a lot of them that you could follow online.

Lavanya (lavanyas) | 191 comments Kannan Gill is awesome... but sometimes lame. Movie reviews are awesome! :D

Satyam (satyum) Wow! So I found an old thread about YouTube videos. Read some of the comments in this thread and a lot of things have changed about YT since the last comment which was almost 7 years ago.

I used to watch TVF and other comedy channels like TSP and Timeliners but sadly their videos do not feel as funny as they used to. Bhuvan and Carry are also in that list. Some of the most funny series was Honest Restaurants by AIB but the AIB is dead after the me too movement. Tanmay has started a new channel and some of his videos are really funny.


message 20: by Madiha (new)

Madiha | 221 comments I used to be obsessed with a youtuber named Shahveer Jafry, and his crew. But now... I don't really watch them. I like watching Dhar Mann sometimes, and I like Lilly Singh (BUT ITS banned at home!)
Any good booktubers to follow?

There is only one booktuber I follow. His channel is Daniel Greene and he is sort of obsessed with fantasy books. Apart from him there is Vlogbrothers but they are not booktubers but the community is developed around books.

Santhosh Shankar (The Book Talk With Santhu) (santhu47) I don't follow any particular youtuber per say, I usually go to YouTube for learning. According to me it is a great platform for learning anything if you really hit the correct channel. I also watch many BookTube Channels as I have my own BookTube channel. Feel free to check out my channel and share your review !

Yeah. There are so many Booktube channels in English, so I thought why not share my reads and if possible inspire Tamils to read?
