Slightly odd request for research on vlogging
Hi my name is Sophie, I am a 3rd year PhD Student at University of East London in the department of Arts and Digital Industries. My research is looking at the (highly gendered) space of vlogging (video blogging) on YouTube, focusing on the mythology of vlogging as an entrepreneurial pursuit, or as a pathway to creative industries in the UK. As part of my field work I would *love *to go to the YouTube Space in London. As many will probably know, this is a massive studio space run by Google, that holds workshops, training sessions and provides studio space for the UK's vlogging elite. As part of the 'elite' nature of this resource, you need 1000 subscribers (or followers) to even set foot in the door and attend an event (you need 10,000 subscribers and 100,000 respectively for most of the resources). Any suggestions or contact introductions would be incredibly helpful. I have contacted YouTube through any channel that is advertised, drained any Google adjacent contacts I have and even walked into the Space to realise there is no reception desk and it's all basically automated. So, as someone who has no institutional or network links to Google, the only creative and roundabout way I can think of right now is to get 1000 subscribers on my YouTube Channel. I don't have the time (or the content) to actually build my subscriber base to this level so I am asking the kindly space of AoIR if you would consider subscribing to the channel. I do not need you to watch my content, or find me interesting in any way, this is purely an access issue (the things you do for access!). I don't make many videos so it shouldn't bother you. You can subscribe if you have a Google account, and it is the red button in the top right hand corner of the page. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/sophiehelenbishop Thank you for reading this slightly odd request, and I hope you are all enjoying your summers. Please contact me with any questions.

Hi Sophie Cool project. Do you want to go to the YouTube Space as a vlogger or as a researcher who will interview elite vloggers? If it¹s the latter, not sure that having 1,000 subscribers will grant you the type of access you need - putting a press request or something similar might yield better results. In any case, I have subscribed - could make an interesting blog : Œhow I got 1,000 subscribers with minimal content¹ :) Good luck!
