Just as a disclaimer, I knew what YouTube was. In fact, I've spent many hours perusing it to learn about a new topic, listen to my favorite speaker, and of course, as part of my day job. However, up until June of this year, I've never really viewed YouTube channels as a form of entertainment. A woman married to traditional television, I wasn't sure if I was ready to dive into the world of the "unscripted" or "reality" and have heard one too many stories of YouTubers doing crazy things for views: adopting a child from a foreign country before deciding to give him back, fake illnesses, interviewing unpleasant characters and rewriting Philippine history — well, you know the drill. For some reason, I stayed away from it because in my naive mind, I thought YouTube was just a place to rant, rave, and well, pretend.
