What do you need to be considered a youtuber

[Picept]

Hello, another post once again and I keep on thinking of things for some strange reason might be my creative mind on overdrive or something.
Anyways i see these people talking about how they are a youtuber and have like 1 video with 4 views on it, which makes me think... What would your standards be for someone to be a youtuber? would it be to just have a video uploaded or just a channel? Or do you need a certain milestone like 100 subscribers or 20k views In my opinion if you want to consider yourself a youtuber you need 50k total views 5k total likes and 300 subscribers which i dont in any case come close to any of those criteria Tell me what you think

Personally I would consider anyone a YouTuber if they hit the following criteria :
- Have an active channel - means uploading on a somewhat regular schedule
- Have interaction with comments they get / other sites
- Have a set amount of views (probably say over a few thousand) - that isn't to put anyones channel down if they don't have it but you can't really just set up a channel, have one view and say "I'm a YouTuber"

Please note this is just my personal opinion, I know some other people, and other users on this forum may not consider people to be a "YouTuber" until they have a few thousand subscribers / are doing it full time so it really is subjective and down to everyone's perceptions

It really depends on what they mean by it. If they are just meaning I do youtube videos for fun, then as long as they have a few videos out, even if it has 0 views then thats fine. If they are acting high and mighty about it, they best have a substantial amount of views and subs to back it up.

I personally don't think the number of subs and/or views determines whether or not someone is a YouTuber. All that is needed is an active channel and upload videos.

To be called a youtuber you would in my opnion need a active channel wich has a personal Avatar, Banner, some social media links, a detailed about section and content of course.

Once you have the basics and upload with a schedule and keep this up you can call yourself a youtuber.

Really I think it's just when they have an active channel that uploads... I might be wrong lol. I dont consider myself a YT-er at 700+ subs and 30 videos bevause I dont upload regularly
