Minecraft on YouTube


         Minecraft has become a great part of YouTube, the Minecraft videos started around 2008 and quickly gained a great amount of audience in 2010, and, by 2012, more than 4 million Minecraft related videos have been uploaded. Most Minecraft channels do not add new and interesting content to YouTube, they simply repeat what other people had already done in the past. Nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of Minecraft YouTube channels, obviously, they are not all as famous as Sky Does Minecraft, with 11,795,844 subscribers, but almost all of the channels are relatively the same. The YouTubers have as their main objectives entertain people that watch and subscribe to their channels and, sometimes, teach new players how to use some features of this quite difficult game. However, there are very few cases in which the Minecraft YouTubers innovate and create something completely new and interesting with the game.
