OneEightNine Media Day in the life of a few young millionaires. Making money is all fine and good but you need to be smart enough and not greedy, and know when to call it quits. Make a few million and get the heck out of there. You are literally putting the social welfare and wellbeing of your family at risk. Plus - you never know when your brand will go downhill. Plus those fans who "need" you will find another upstart or are probably living vicariously through another YouTuber. Whatever, this documentary does not show as much of the business aspect as it should. I might dare and say this is pro-vlogger propaganda.

elbertrobles I've been an avid youtube watcher since 2009. I know almost all the youtubers that came out on "Vlogumentary". If you don't know what a youtuber is. It's somebody who creates or records content. Puts it in a video file format then uploads it to youtube. A video sharing website. With that said, I am well acquainted with these youtubers and their lives. Both in relation to youtube and some personal information that they either share, or that I read or heard about. This documentary shows you what it's like to be a youtuber and a viewer. Also what comes with the territory. The good and the bad.I thought the whole film was enjoyable. I was kept entertained throughout the whole film. I've watched a couple of documentaries in my lifetime. One thing I like about watching documentaries is the in dept look of it all. You definitely get that with "Vlogumentary". The music was also very good. A mixture of sad and happy vibes that was matched with the mood of the current event or person. I'm giving a respectable 8 because it did what it was suppose to do. Which is entertain me on what it's like to be part of the youtube community. Both as a viewer and a content creator. I couldn't go more than 8 because I wasn't left wowed by the viewing experience. A great watch for people who are a part of the youtube community. If you're just a casual viewer with no experience or knowledge with anything regarding these Vloggers. Go in with an open mind and you'll come out of it with great perspective on Youtube. The content creators or vloggers and the community that has impacted their lives to this day.

Courtney I purchased Vlogumentary to watch through YouTube as Canada does not have YouTube Red. For my fellow Canadians it is $15.00 to purchase. Save your money! The best parts of the whole movie were in the preview. This documentary had so my hype to it that it seemed like it would be amazing. It was okay, but honestly not worth $15.00. It only touched on a few story lines with a few YouTubers. You see more YouTubers in the preview than the movie really. For everything about Charles Trippy it's nothing different than his vlogs. Other people complained about money. Some say they make six figures, others say they're broke because they don't have sponsors. I recommend saving your money until they own up to their promise that viewing Vlogumentary would be free for everyone.

myer-65343 I watched this video as an avid Youtube watcher, and a contributor to the crowd funding campaign to get the movie started.The movie itself is fun, it seems like it is made for an audience that is outside of a youtube viewership community. If you go in with that in mind, you'll definitely enjoy it more. There are also a number of contradictions, for example, there is a segment where they discuss the money there is to be made on youtube, there are fast cuts of youtubers talking about how they are well off now, but it's not about the money. Then the next several minutes spend time with a character who is apparently broke. It left me wondering, which is it? Do Youtubers make money? Don't they? The movie left me wondering, how do popular Youtubers end up broke? How is it that other Youtubers are very comfortable? Another example the film seeming to contradict itself is the tone of the film throughout is how much people love what they are doing, but in the latter third or so it seemed to focus on how much work it is to be a Youtuber. It sounded like whining at some parts. Am I to believe that the people showing joy for being a Youtuber are being fake? The documentary says that vlogging is a real connection from viewer to creator, but then Charles Trippy discusses how the vlog only sees 10 minutes of his day. Leaves me wondering, how much is real? What is fake? There's a more complicated story to tell.These are just two examples, but I can't fit much more in only 1000 words.There are some obvious frustrations as a backer of the film, the campaign promised that it was going to be made by ApprenticeA, and Shaycarl, It was directed by someone else. There are broken promises about who the main characters were going to be, that didn't happen. It's obviously not the same movie I and many others backed years ago when they started. Then there are broken promises about refunding the backers if the movie gets sold (which it did) etc...
