In the youtube tech world, sure. Outside of that I wouldn't imagine many people know of them.

Yes.

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.

I'd say MKBHD is bordering on being a web celeb because he's not only king of the tech circle, but when somone wants to know about a phone, an increasingly large amount of people are going to see his videos to find out about it.

 

More people like smartphones than like PCs, and he has also made the jump to 4K.

 

However I don't think the tech circle has any actual web celebs in it, the FreddieWs the FPSRussias and the JennaMarbles of this world are too massive IMO.

I would agree with that, MKBHD is pretty popular.

I would actually be really excited to see any of the people I subscribe to on youtube in real life. This includes Linus and "Slick."

Haha, are you commenting on the 8350 and 6770 combo? I mainly play games and some 3D rendering, but I sold my 7970 during the rise of Litecoin.
