Male booktubers are some of the most revolting human beings I've ever had the displeasure of watching, or maybe I'm overreacting. Either way, this stuff below is some top-tier cringe.

Topkek. Mediocre white women have more privilege than white men

It's basically just thinly veiled consumerism at this point. No intellectual analysis going on at all.

Old acquaintance of mine, Just found out that she vlogs about books.

>>16553300
The only booktuber that matters

I recall some male booktubers being alright, but they were less "booktubers" and more just talking about shit they've read and reflecting on it without any sort of mentality around youtube or book consuming culture and what have you. Don't remember the channels though

How is he a booktuber? I thought he was just an academic

being a booktuber is an alternate way of being an ethot, like smart girls ethotting method. It's all about vanity; being popular and having a following.
If that's what you want, go for it. Being a male you are at a disadvantage, though, even average, and below average women can get a following but as a male you need to be SUPERattractive to gain a following no social media. It's all a façade.

Remember it's a visual/auditory platform, nobody cares about printed words there.

She’s really cute. And the comments are full of other cute girls with small diarist channels. Why can’t I find a qt gf?

the market for male booktubers (non YA of course) is yet to be saturised. you need to check certain boxes though, which include HQ technology, interesting points, good voice, decent taste, likable character with a natural edge, and last but not least marketing. female guests once in a while would not hurt.

There is something magical about that part of YouTube isn't there? I miss all the cute book girls in coffee shops and second hand bookstores.

>Could I do this
Yes. I would love to see in depth book reviews for actually interesting books. I think there is definitely a market for it. The fact that most booktubers are women who only do surface level reviews of YA novels shouldn't discourage you. Rather it should let you know that there's space for you to innovate and differentiate yourself in the space.

That's a nice book.

I flipped through the video to see what books she chose. Watching her profusely stroke and flip her hair as she handled and vapidly "discussed" Plato made me physically sick.

>>16555238
