noun

Etymology: From YouTube + -er.

  1. A user of the video-sharing website YouTube.

    Ms. Nash, who gave her weight at 224 pounds, said that she ate what she wanted, watched her health and had stopped considering her weight the prime mover of every event in her life. YouTubers loved it.

  2. A video creator on YouTube.

    One of the most discussed YouTube clips lately features a young woman who calls herself pizzelle2 watching a video of another YouTube user, who is watching another YouTuber, and so on.

    How have these YouTubers become so popular? It can seem baffling to people outside their main viewing demographic: smartphone-toting “millennials” who spend as much time (if not more) watching shortform video online as they do traditional TV shows.
