At the start of this year I had written about vlogging<\/a>, that it seems to becoming a new trend in Armenia \u2014 as in the whole world.<\/p>\n

Today vlogging has become one of the leading media phenomena. Many vloggers now have a greater influence than a significant portion of the media.<\/p>\n

Vloggers\u2019 profits, observed from open sources, reveals that we\u2019re dealing with unbelievably large sums of money.<\/p>\n

According to Forbes<\/a>, the world\u2019s top 10 bloggers had a combined earnings of $127 million in one year. The largest amount was earned by DanTDM, a vlogger with 17 million subscribers, at $16.5 million. Vlogger PewDiePie<\/a> has the most subscribers at over 58 million subscribers.<\/p>\n

In Armenia, changes are evident. A large number of schoolchildren have flooded YouTube, both producing their own content and consuming YouTube content. It\u2019s enough to search the word \u201cvlog\u201d (in Armenian) on YouTube<\/a>: it becomes clear that in the last year the situation has changed both qualitatively and quantitatively.<\/p>\n

In Armenia, however, TV companies and pop singers continue to dominate the vlogging landscape.<\/p>\n

The vlogging movement in Armenia is a few steps behind; content that can compete with the TV stations is still just being developed. You can find social or political blogging on ArmNet, but it\u2019s not yet sustainable.<\/p>\n

For example, the SOS channel<\/a>, which, I believe, is the most viewed, discussed, and well-known vlog, regardless of the audience\u2019s attitude, hasn\u2019t updated its channel with new content for five months now.<\/p>\n

It can now be said that a large audience has formed in Armenia for vlogging on YouTube: at the very least, people actively use YouTube as a social networking site. And the number of subscriptions to Armenian channels is growing.<\/p>\n

Moreover, according to Similarweb, since August of this year, YouTube has become the most visited website in Armenia.<\/p>\n
