Abstract

As the Internet has become the most useful tool for communication in the 21st century, more and more people have turned to the internet as a main source of communication. Apart from the increase in usage of the Internet for educational and professional purposes, online entertainment media platforms have also seen a spike in its usage. Statista (2022) reported that as of January 2022, YouTube alone has 2.6 billion active monthly users and has gained USD 8.6 billion in ad revenues. As more and more YouTube “celebrities” who are better known as influencers are produced by this social media platform, the spotlights have shifted from singers and actors to YouTube celebrities.
