Although I haven't talked much about anything but other b/vloggers, I want to make this one point: I would never want to know the people I watch for the long term. Watching people on Youtube exploits one of the principals of a relationship: everything in moderation. It's the same with family: you may argue constantly with your siblings, yet you have no problem with your cousins who live far away. For the same reasons, I would, for the most part, loathe actually "living" with any of my favorite Youtubers, or at least see them daily.
I could never listen to sxephil talk all day, 5 minutes is about my limit. Michael Buckley's high voice 15 hours a day would make me rip my hair out. Living with John or Hank Green would drive me crazy, with their liberal lifestyles alone. Davey Wavey's optimism would make me into a mental case.
So this is why I appreciate them in their little box. Would I want to meet them? Hell yes. Would I like to travel across Asia with them? Uh no. They can stay there, and I can stay here.
