Last July, I posted an item [Link] that used a Youtube star as an example of a mass media phenomenon that, whether you like it or not, is something you probably should know about. If millions of people are watching something, shouldn’t a dedicated trend watcher and environmental scanner know about it?
I intend now to edit the old post a to obscure the name in question, I’ll use an asterisk for the letter "e". The Youtube star is Fr*d, and he’s drawn even more hits to this blog because he is no longer posting his videos regularly–the fans are hunting hard so as to not miss anything new, apparently. I don’t want to mislead Google searchers and bring them here for the wrong reasons. I don’t like to edit an old post, and won’t make a habit of it, but this seems to be the right thing to do.
Not that, of course, the need to do this proves the point of the original post–there has been a serious lot of interest in this Youtube star, and you probably needed to know about him.
