YouTube Plants
As a huge fan of YouTube I have kept up on the latest YouTube videos and stars. The other night I was watching a Brookers video and I thought "Wow, this girl is extremely entertaining.
I watched all of her videos and checked out her myspace page and that is where I started to wonder if Brookers was planted by a corporation like MTV. Maybe they auditioned her and were like "Ok cool, we will put her on YouTube and make people think she is just some random funny person! Than we'll put her on TV!" I mostly don't believe this. Brookers is probably just a YouTube user who caught on, got a website made for her and a bunch of fans. But what's to stop MTV or some other company from putting a plant on YouTube. Someone they auditioned, someone who can seem like any normal user but is really just laying the ground work for a marketing campaign.
I'm not saying Brookers is a plant but she COULD be! Also, if MTV or other corporations aren't doing this kind of marketing, why not? I'm not a marketing guru though so what do I know. I can tell you this, Andy Milonakis was on the Internet before he had his show on MTV2 OR WAS HE!?
