The site is very ideologically biased, under the ideology that to be gay is to be under threat.LGBT issues are extremely complex.  Focus on 'gay icons' such as Kylie, Janet Jackson and Lady Gaga. This makes the assumption that gay people conform to the stereotype.  Attitude stereotypes to make money and can be highly critisced because of this.

They exist like every media product - to make money through views/clicks. These videos are being made because they work -  they want toddlers to click on them. How Zoella is using algorithms: -She is using brands in the title, well known such as asos - she is using them to come up on google searches. - Her face is in every thumbnail, to make her approachable and appealing to appeal to her target audience - this works. - The same handwritten style cursive serif font that connotes she is laid back and cool, on every video. - The white outline emphasises her as the vocal point - she stands out and everyone does it to get views. - Using keywords such as 'reacting' '2018' 'Ultimate' - Consciously stamping her name on each one, associates her name with beauty - branding and i...
