V. 閱讀測驗(第 26 題至第 30 題,共 10 分)
Superstar vloggers have got traditional media in a bit of a panic. And there is every chance you have never heard
of them. The rise of the vlogging superstars is a very recent phenomenon, one that is rapidly changing the shape of
marketing, advertising and the wider media world.
Alfie Deyes, the British vlogging superstar, has more than three million subscribers to his YouTube channel and
was recently mobbed by over 8,000 fans at the launch of his first book. Deyes' fame among the UK's teenagers even
rivals that of boyband stars like One Direction's Niall Horan. Deyes’s book, The Pointless Book, is a number one
bestseller, outperforming the latest ones from Jamie Oliver and Ian McEwan. With their millions of YouTube
subscribers, vloggers like Deyes are generating huge revenues. Thus, both traditional and networked television hired
vloggers so as to catch the attention of the younger generation, who have engaged in the online world for years.
TV might seem like a step up from YouTube. But that's not necessarily how the vloggers and their fans see it. In
fact, Deyes views it as a completely different platform, one where he may be only a face or a voice to someone else's
script and ideas. After all, this guy already has millions of fans by just being himself, uploading videos where he and
his friends set each other silly challenges, or he plays games with his mom, and talks about life as a young British
person.
Vloggers can script, edit and present their own shows without having to care about the TV executives. YouTube
and similar sites offer the true democratization of mass media. It's a free-for-all where a 15-year-old with an idea and
a laptop can rewrite the rules. And it's likely to stay that way – until the marketing men and the major corporations
figure out a way to bend it to their will.
