Is it easier for woman to be successful YouTubers than men?

I personally thought that it seemed easier for the younger more attractive guys to get views. I feel like girls tend to watch videos just for guys look sometimes. I know that I was guilty of it back in middle school but maybe I just see that way because of my point of view. You make a good point.

Yeaaa, I know what you mean. I had those moments when I was younger. Looks sure do help, we can't deny that, but it does come down to content in the end.
 
its intresting to see this agruement the other way round as i always thought the guys tended to get more views and subscribers atleast from what ive noticed but maybe i should wear a low cut shirt in one of my vids upload that then a non low cut shirt and then paint a beard on my face tape my breasts down and upload that then observe the difference in views between those videos? XD
 
I always thought it was easier for men.To me, it seems most of the big girl YouTubers are beauty guru's. It just seems men dominate every other category, vloggers, gamers, sketches, animation, you name it.

Being attractive helps 90% of the time on getting a potential viewer, looks are first impressions after all. After the initial "Oh, this person is hot/attractive" the viewer will then decide if they like the content or not.

So when someone sees an attractive boy, they click on it and will watch their content. But if it's a girl, it's usually for a makeup video, so now the impression is "oh, she's a beauty person, moving on" because to the viewer, that's all that will come from her channel. Which in honesty, is the truth other than the occasional fashion/cooking/Q&A video.

I'm not saying all girls are makeup guru's, but considering YouTuber's fan-bases are usually girls, it's only natural they will be attracted to boys more than girls.

And to be honest, the only two female YouTubers I actually subscribed to are Superwomen and Communitychannel. Like someone else said, it usually all comes down to content. And these are the only girl YouTubers I found funny and liked their content for their content.

It seems that as far as gaining subscriptions and views, young girls or attractive girls on YouTube have the advantage over others. They gain subscribers quickly if their videos are half way decent as apposed to men.

Well obviously all other things being equal, being attractive will give you an advantage and make you gain subs and views faster. This is true regardless of whether you are a boy or a girl.

But it seems that you are implying that attractive girls have an advantage over attractive boys. Which I think most of the people in the Youtube business disagree on.

I mean, if your statement were true, we would have huge female Youtube channels with attractive female Youtubers in the top 1000 channels. Instead the channels that seem to gain mostly from looks seems to be vlogging channels run by guys because they can attract the very large 13-17 female segment.

I really do not hope I come across sexist or condescending, but guys seem to think that the Internet is primarily a guy thing. Nothing could be further from the truth. The amounts of 13-17 yo girls on Tumblr, Youtube and Instagram is absolutely insane!

Lastly, yes, obviously I get a lot of views and subs because I am not exactly ugly.[DOUBLEPOST=1427047049][/DOUBLEPOST]

Lol I was about to write EXACTLY the same comment haha! There has been a very interesting gender gap debate regarding females on Youtube. So this thread actually surprised me.
 
My Answer is Yes
if a woman want to do something on youtube it will definitely a Hit and subscribing channel
i will bet ?????
 
I honestly haven't looked at this thread for a while but you guys made some good points and now I feel like an a**, haha.... good points everyone... And I'm sad cause I must not be as good looking as I think because I would have more subscribers by now, sad face :( bahahaha jk jk... I hope, ha
 
I'm very late to this topic it seems, but I also disagree with the notion that it is purely attractive women who have a leg up when it comes to receiving more attention.

Regardless of gender, if you are a conventionally attractive person, you stand more of a chance of your channel being recognized and growing faster. That being said, it isn't just down to looks. Your personality and content needs to, first and foremost, be the best thing about your channel, not how attractive you are - your appearance can only take you so far. Sure, you could have a couple thousand subscribers that are there to gawk at you while doing certain unspeakable acts to themselves, silently praying that their mothers don't walk in, but if your content is limited, there's a ceiling that you'll eventually hit.
 
I never started youtube for exactly that reason. I thought that people wouldnt take me seriously only beacuse I am a girl. I don´t use my webcam when I play yet beacause I want people to subscribe beacuse they like me and my content and not because of the looks. Don´t want to loose or gain subscribers for that reason.
I reeeaaalllly love games! And hopefully will my subscribers see that too, I am soo happy with the ones that I got. I wont give up :)
