YouTube is a network of videos that anyone in the world can view. Two popularly watched people who post videos to YouTube, or YouTubers as they are called, are Connor Franta and Zoe Sugg. Although their career paths are similar, they are very different. The videos they produce fit into opposite genres, they live across the world from each other, and are members of different varieties of channels. The objective of this paper is to compare and contrast these two YouTubers and their styles and lives.
Connor and Zoe both make YouTube videos for a living, but with so much distance between them, there are a few cultural differences.
Connor Franta pulls out his chair, sits down, and turns on his camera, “Hey what’s up you guys? It’s Connor!” he says with a wide smile and wildly large eyes. Connor, Minnesota native grew up in the United States. He lived in a small town for all of his life, until June 2013, when he decided to move to Los Angeles, California. In fact Connor never had the opportunity to leave the states until his senior year in high school. As an American born citizen, Connor speaks without an accent, and uses American English dialect. He also drinks coffee on a regular basis and thoroughly enjoys social network sites such as Tumblr, twitter, Instagram, and of course YouTube.
Zoe Sugg on the other hand, comes from a town called Wiltshire in England. She speaks with a strong British accents and lives a very different lifestyle. In England, one major difference from America, is the government. Queen Elizabeth II rules the monarchy over the U.K. Zoe has visited America on several occasions. Zoe also claims to love social media, but considers herself more of a tea-drinker as it seems customary at home.
