It was a tenth anniversary of VidCon and this year was packed with both fans and creators alike from amazing cosplay like this fan who?
Hilariously dressed as a YouTube apology video to the Internet's most famous animals like Nala the cat and pickles the pig. Yep
they probably make more money than you and I
to Instagram photo ops like this yellow ball pit a
Life-sized Barbie Dreamhouse and a jungle themed exhibit in honor of the new movie Dora and the lost city of gold
opportunities to connect and celebrate internet culture were
Everywhere and just like comic-con top creators
Hosted meet and greets and panels to connect with their fans the vlog squad held a question and answer session
Where david dobrik shared a line he has in the upcoming Angry Birds two movie
There were also sneak peeks for YouTube originals like Liza on demand season 2 and escape the night all-stars
But perhaps the biggest event of the weekend as noted by the Atlantic was the tick-tock party
The exclusive event was so packed many top tik-tok creators were left outside in line for over three hours
But kenzie jewel said got invited to the tick-tock after-party
We did in line three hours and wasn't let in it was literally Tana con 2.0
Tick tock next time you throw a party at a bowling alley
Maybe not invite like six hundred
People and speaking of Tanic on only one year after the dramatic event Tana mojo returned to VidCon with her own panel and meet-and-greet in
Fact one of the biggest moments of VidCon was Jake Paul crashing the stage to read Tana a poem that announced their wedding date
Question
But I July 28th, you can all save the date
And while most creators and fans are well behaved there was one creature that got into some drama
Zombie unicorn had cleen Rock one to four kicked out for harassment after he asked her a question that made her upset
But other than that looks like most attendees were focused on connecting over what they love the most
YouTube and social media, but again what made this year's event. So special is that it was the anniversary
Ten years. How crazy is that? I was there at the first one guys
I'm aging myself and it was literally in the basement of a hotel in Los Angeles at that time
everyone was getting the views on YouTube and subscribers but no one had seen what that looked like in real life and
at that first VidCon
People were lined up to see their top creators that they were subscribed to and in that moment
We were all like whoa
There's something special here
And we're really part of the beginning of a movement and from that small meetup in conference. Ten years ago has grown it VidCon is
22,000 people in Anaheim at the Convention Center
I mean it's wild, you know
There's always new stars as always new celebrities that grow and pop up and that's the beauty of it
All is that the platform is still a place where anyone can dream big and make their dreams come true
way back when for many years
People were able to make a lot of money and it was sustainable and YouTube was there for creators and creators were there for them?
As we all know that's not what it is right now. It's confused. There's a lot of tension. There's a lot of conflict
We're all trying to figure out how to make money how to continue doing what we love doing
plus
It becomes more of a place where the industry is and brands and companies are there
To meet with you and try to figure out deals
So that's good because the only way this is all gonna succeed is if we make money together
And I think what we're all realizing too as we get older is how do we do what we love and live a happy life?
So how do you think VidCon is changed throughout the years? And do you think it's still gonna be relevant?
