what stage would you call yourself a youtuber?

[Sunsbookishgamesx]

I was wondering this today does your subscriber count make you a youtuber... i have over 2k atm and I wouldn't call myself a youtuber I feel people might make fun of me or something?

Are we all classed as youtubers? Or do you think you have to wait till you have a certain sub count to tell people publicly I am a youtuber?

What do you guys think?

I'm totally with you, I'm a little over 2k now too and wouldn't call myself one... yet.

I'd probably be comfortable with that label around 100k.

In my opinion, subs don't matter. If you make videos consistently, you're a YouTuber

I'd not call myself one until the earnings are worth mentioning.

"So you're a Youtuber?"
"Yes I am"
"How much do you earn from being one?"
"Uh, over ten dollars a month?"

The face when you spend so much effort for a measly figure.

I'd consider myself one. I make content for the site on a regular basis, so I don't see why not.

If people feel that the "Youtuber" moniker only comes about at a certain sub count or income level, that's fine as well.

If you make content on a regular basis I would consider you a YouTuber. I probably wouldn't go around telling people I'm a YouTuber until I have at least 50k though, just because I am the same way, I would feel like people would make fun of me until I had a decent following to prove it.

This thread pops up pretty often, and people always drop the
"If you're making videos, you're a youtuber"
That's fine. But I wouldn't say it personally until I was making an income from it.
Until then it's just a hobby, so I would say, "I make YouTube videos".

If Basketball is your hobby, you say "I play basketball". If basketball is your career, you say "I'm a basketball player"

Just my personal opinion. I don't think it really matters. call yourself what you want. 'Princess Emperor Care Bear' is another option.

That's not a bad logic chain you have there. Thanks for the insight!

I wouldn't call myself a YouTuber unless it becomes my full time job.

I agree with you.....regular content make a professional YouTuber.
