Let's abstract the concept....
If you start playing an instrument (guitar / piano / whatever), when are you a musician?
If you start climbing mountains with your mates, when are you a mountain climber?
If you learn to drive, when are you a driver?
That last one's easy to define - when you pass your test and get your license. Before that though, you're a learner driver....
I guess for me it's when you've put enough effort into something to gain a reasonable level of proficiency to understand what you need to do to carry out the skill/task/process, as well as what you need to do to improve... Along with actually doing that task with some continuity... Eg if you stop uploading videos for a year, are you still a YouTuber?
