2.3d Understanding YouTube Personality Communities: Conceptualization and Typologies

Friday, March 29, 2019 at 1:00 PM–2:30 PM CDT
3-Bordeaux
Abstract

YouTube personality channels have attracted great attention in the recent years given their values in marketing and advertising. However, what a YouTube personality channel is and how it operates have not been clearly demonstrated in a conceptual way. Adopting a community approach, this study addresses this issue by conceptually defining YouTube personality channels as participatory content communities and developing typologies of two major types of members of these communities – personalities and followers – respectively. As such, a conceptual framework is provided to advance our understanding of YouTube personality channels and to guide future empirical research in areas such as online communities and influencer marketing.
