Top 15 Youtube Vloggers to Follow (Pt. 2)
6. Roman Atwood
Roman Atwood creates vlogs, depicting his life. In fact, he even has a couple of movie-length vlogs and plans to make more of these epics.
Roman began his YouTubing making prank videos, on what he now refers to as “my old dusty channel” – RomanAtwood. Although he hasn’t added new videos to that channel for two years, it still attracts 10.6 million subscribers.
He became a vlogger in 2013 and still enjoys creating his family-friendly, kid-friendly vlogs. He posts videos most days keeping his fans informed about how his life is progressing. As a former prankster, it should be no surprise that Roman’s vlogs are comical. His vlog channel is the 50th most subscribed channel on YouTube.
7. Daniel Howell
Daniel Howell initially made his videos as Danisnotonfire (and if you look closely you can see that is still part of his main channel’s URL). That channel is now simply named Daniel Howell. Dan is a British YouTuber who has been uploading his videos since 2009.
He operates a side channel, called Danisnotinteresting, where he uploads bonus footage from videos, along with videos intended to be vlogs.
He describes the videos he uploads as being about how awkward he is, and how people laugh at him.
While he probably wouldn't consider the bulk of his videos on his Daniel Howell channel to be vlogs, he nonetheless is the star of most of them. Quite a few of them also feature his game-playing video partner, (Amazing) Phil Lester. The pair together run a gaming channel, DanAndPhilGAMES, which has been officially recognized as YouTube’s fastest growing channel.
Dan studied law at the University of Manchester in 2010, but dropped out a year later, deciding he lacked interest in law. Instead, he changed his career to radio broadcasting and professional vlogging.
Dan and Phil found success in radio in the UK – presenting BBC Radio 1 show, Dan and Phil, followed by Internet Takeover.
Dan broadcasts a weekly hour-long live show on his main Daniel Howell YouTube channel.
8. Amazing Phil
Amazing Phil is known as Phil Lester in the real world. Like his frequent collaborator, Daniel Howell, Phil is an English YouTuber and former radio personality.
He posted his first video blog in March 2006, appropriately called Phil’s Video Blog. He has continued to post videos on his AmazingPhil channel, his LessAmazingPhil channel, and the DanAndPhilGAMES channel he operates with Daniel Howell.
Phil sums up his vlogging activities in the About section of his AmazingPhil channel – “I share my strange life with the internet! Subscribe to see what happens next.”
Phil’s fans love him because they consider him sweet, looking at life in a lighthearted and positive way. They believe he can cheer them up when they are down or feel depressed. They particularly love the verbal sparring between Phil and Dan when they combine to make videos.
9. Alfie Deyes Vlogs
Alfie Deyes Vlogs is one of three YouTube channels that English YouTuber, property investor, and author, Alfie Deyes, operates. The others are his original PointlessBlog and PointlessBlogGames.
Alfie releases new vlogs three or four times per week. They cover topics such as Big Family Summer BBQ, Having Another Dog for the Day, and The Babies Have Arrived (these are actually baby dolls you can use to learn how to cope when real babies come along).
Alfie continues his Pointless branding offline, too. He has released three books, appropriately called, The Pointless Book, The Pointless Book 2, and The Pointless Book 3. He has also diversified his activities into other forms of media, appearing on both radio and television. He can even claim to be part of the 2014 remake of charity Christmas song, Do They Know It’s Christmas.
10. Tyler Oakley
While Tyler Oakley doesn’t refer to his videos as vlogs, many of them fit the criteria. He does have one popular section, called Day in the Life videos, for those who prefer the strict vlogger definition.
Tyler releases a couple of videos each week, covering topics ranging from product reviews to returning to his college (and a 10-year high school reunion) to a video on how he lost his virginity (also, coincidentally a 10-year reunion). Since then he says he has had a “decade of debauchery.”
Many of his videos focus on looking at life from a gay perspective, with the aim of helping LGBT youth. His videos cover social issues like health care, education, and suicide prevention.
Forbes named Tyler one of their 2017 30 under 30. He was awarded the Shorty Award for YouTuber of the Year in 2016.
