It’s late May and a security team patrol the outdoor grounds of Singapore venue SCAPE while a series of blockades keeps an estimated 6,000 screaming fans from causing a riot. The crowd of mostly teenagers are there to see the “stars” they follow obsessively.

But the youngsters both male and female aren’t screaming for Beyonce, Iggy Azalea or Lady Gaga. Instead, their shouts are aimed at Ryan Higa, Superwoman, Jenna Marbles, Tyler Oakley, Bethany Mota and Vsauce, who have all become famous via YouTube.
