Topic > The phenomenon of reality TV vs. Reality Television

On YouTube, viewers interact with content creators simply through a comments section below the video. Not only that, these creators are tech-savvy and have accounts on all social media platforms. There is a personal relationship that creators tend to have with their subscribers. Reality stars, depending on the type of show, are usually on live TV for only one season. Not only is their time as a celebrity short, but they may also have a different personality on screen than in real life. These two different platforms have different fan bases, but does one fan base relate to each other better than the other? An article titled "Watching Vlogs like the SHAYTARDS?", written about why people watch vlogs, states that there are a few reasons, for personal entertainment or because people are lonely and unhappy. Today's society lives in a broken and depressed world, but these creators of the Internet share their lives which usually seem better than ours. In a 2005 study, fifteen viewers were surveyed to watch different reality shows, and as it showed, some were more interested than others depending on the content of the show. The reason to enjoy the show was a more exotic reality like “Survivor,” while it was shows like “Big Brother".
