I'm sure by now you've heard of it. YouTube is a social media network that allows its users to view and create videos from all around the world. There are usually two types of people who use this site: pilots and passengers. The pilots are the people that make videos and usually regularly put out videos, while the passengers are the people who view the videos. It is very common that someone will be both. These pilots connect with their audiences, and form a community. Because the people in this community become close over the internet, they naturally want to meet in person. And thus the creation of YouTube gatherings. VidCon, Playlist Live, and Digifest are some of the most common.
