If not, then I'm not surprised if Emma Blackery has found her page here, the other youtuber pages are only so much up to date as hers. However, I have noticed that that comments on the youtuber sections here vary between positive remarks and valuable criticism while I also found GG a place for people to vent their own insecurities and remain largely off topic while little discussion for a considerable amount of threads I've went through on various different youtubers. I have to admit, I don't blame youtubers for being curious about reading up about themselves online, but I do agree. It eventually becomes seriously masochistic, there's no such thing as a perfect person and people on the internet prove that
However, something makes me think that deppy do not read this forum. For one, I don't really think it's in their interest? They do get a clear idea of what people think from tumblr, twitter and youtube comments alone, why go further? Even if it was the case that they have found this place, GG, or read from either, I can't imagine them having had read everything in depth and intensely.
There's Pretty Ugly Little Liars, but it isn't as famous or mean (usually) as GG and it covers the entire spectrum of the internet's special snowflakes so YouTube is not their focus at all. Only one their four largest sections is about a vlogger. You'll find some more YouTube personalities in the Special Snowflake and Online Personalities sections, but it's definitely a very different niche like living doll models, twitter/tumblr famous people, K/Jvloggers (Mimei and Duncan have a thread there actually and it's mostly nice so good for them) and some general messy people like Michelle Phan, Jeffree Star and Trisha Paytas. D&P do have a thread on there, I've linked it here one, but it's super dead. Emma also has thread that consists of a whopping 2 posts (not counting OP)
Honestly it's a given that YouTubers read their own GG and stuff, but it's super annoying when they admit to it on social media or 'react' to it in videos because it attracts minions who always feel the need to defend their shitty faves. It's so transparant as well 'Oh let me look at my GG and pretend that I don't care while sending an army of minions to defend me'
It's hilarious when they defend themselves under a different name and get caught though, like Carrie :') And while I get that isn't fun to see certain things being said about you it's like... at least we aren't doing this in your comment section so go there and respond to you adoring fans??
As far as D&P go, they must know that IDB exists but I don't think they actively read here.. it'd be a lot less traumatizing than some GG threads I'm sure but I don't really see them as the type of people who upload a video and then go to check their IDB and GG threads. They also never get caught in drama (like Emma obviously creates some drama and then goes to check what people are saying so she can whine about it) so there really ain't a reason for them to actively lurk here. But they must have been here and read some stuff at some point. I just don't think they returned.
