Georgia Productions explains why YouTube will eventually overtake TV YouTube: Georgia ProductionsAustralian YouTube star Georgia Productions has revealed why she believes the huge video-sharing platform will eventually surpass mainstream television, especially for kids, as more and more content creators join the website. Georgia has been building her 785,000-strong YouTube fanbase since 2013, and has seen the ins and outs of the website in the past seven years. Most recently, the Aussie star was nominated for a Nickelodeon Kids\u2019 Choice Award. As the Kids\u2019 Choice Awards ceremony \u2014 to be held on March 22 \u2014 looms on the horizon, the 20-year-old creator admitted she believes YouTube, and the whole video online domain too, is well on its way to overtaking TV as we know it. According to the Australian YouTuber, who spoke to the Newcastle Herald after she was nominated for the award, the fact kids today can pick up a phone or tablet and load up a video in seconds is where YouTube has the edge over mainstream TV. \u201cKids can very easily access online content. They can choose exactly what they want to watch, and when they want to watch it. They don\u2019t have to wait a certain amount of time for it to come on TV,\u201d she explained. Modern times have also played a role in the change from television addiction, to YouTube\u2019s mainstream popularity burst. \u201cAttention spans are getting smaller and smaller,\u201d she added. \u201cOne day we are all going to be like goldfish.\u201d As well as that, she continued, the YouTube medium is unique compared to television in it feels like you\u2019re sharing the video experiences with your favorite content creators, rather than just watching through a window into their lives. \u201cPeople feel a lot closer to YouTubers because they tend to share a lot about themselves \u2014 there\u2019s not much of a wall or a filter,\u201d she said, though ironically the Australian star has yet to reveal her last name to her hordes of fans. Funnily enough, though, the mega-popular Aussie streamer nearly didn\u2019t start her career on YouTube at all, after her parents told her \u201cno,\u201d when she said she was going to start making videos, aged 13. Eventually, however, a persistent Georgia \u201cwore them down,\u201d and the rest is history. From her humble start, the 20-year-old is now well on her way to a huge million-subscriber milestone \u2014 only 165 Australians have hit that mark before. The online comedian has also branched out into publishing recently, releasing her book. The 2018 release touches on her early life, as well as her \u201cadventures\u201d with her \u201csuperpower,\u201d ADHD. Georgia has no plans to even step away from YouTube into something more though, at least not long term. She may tinker with other things from time to time \u2014 like her book \u2014 but she\u2019ll always find her way back to YouTube, she said. \u201cI am branching out, yeah, but not too far,\u201d she said. \u201cI like to stick to my roots and I still love making YouTube videos. I can\u2019t see a point in time where I\u2019d stop just yet.\u201d The 33rd Nickelodeon Kids\u2019 Choice Awards will be held on March 22. Georgia will be up against EyStreem, Harvey Petito, Johnny Tuivasa-Sheck, and Mariam Star for the top gong among Aussie & New Zealand content creators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
