British media such as The Guardian and Daily Mail published on Friday the surprise from emerging news of a survey among English teens: “Youtube stars,” vloggers, columnists and celebrities who gain fame from online videos and have access to an envied style of life, are replacing actresses, soccer players and even professional role models.

It’s no accident that major Hollywood (Disney and Warner) companies have decided to buy or associate themselves with boutique producers which launch these figures, occupying a creative underground, such as it did before by performing standup. Comedy in fact is the most popular genre in this phenomenon which grows in TV’s peripheral marketing.

Resúmenes de películas, animación y, sobre todo, humor parecen llevar la delantera en los llamados pequeños formatos que desvelan a la industria audiovisual
