It seems the youtube community is ablaze with the news that Lonleygirl15 is a fake. Not only is she fake but her video blog was a corporate experiment. You can read the forum post from the wizards behind the curtain. Considering she was the #2 most suscribed channel on youtube this is a pretty big shock to the community. Luckily I never could get into her videos... something about her always annoyed me.
Seeing as how Paris Hilton has now come to youtube and Lonelygirl15 was just a fake... it seems that companies are jumping all over youtube. Personally if youtube becomes TV I will have to leave. Youtube's organic grassrootsy nature is what makes it great.
People like renetto and minouye are who get me to keep coming back. Real people. A big thanks to bravesgirl5 for helping to get the information out to the rest of the community.
Update: Wow this is blowing up bigger than I thought. Now its showing up at the LA Times website.
