YouTuber
Online video personality
A YouTuber is someone who creates and uploads video content to the platform YouTube, typically as a regular practice rather than a one-off.
The term usually implies someone who has built an audience and treats content creation as a serious pursuit, whether as a hobby or profession.
YouTubers span every conceivable genre—gaming, beauty tutorials, vlogs, commentary, education—and successful ones may earn revenue through advertising and sponsorships.
