Over the course of the last year, I've observed overlap between YouTube and the video blogging community, yet the communities somehow remain somewhat insular, with one prominent video blogger only recently posting to YouTube for the first time. In addition, I've spoken with many children and youth on YouTube who are not aware of many of the most visible members of the video blogging community.

Scholars who study reception practices are especially interested in how interpretations and experiences change according to how the videos may be viewed.
