What’s VidCon?

VidCon was founded by YouTube creator Hank Green.

Viacom acquired the service in 2018.

VidCon is now ten years old.

You can participate in their celebrations from
July 10-13, 2019, in Anaheim, California

The platform is a hub for Gen Z.

You can see the featured VidCon creators here.

VidCon is investing heavily on live streaming features
like Super Chat and membership tiers.

This diversification might be a strategy to
take on competitors like Amazon Twitch.

In fact, a closer look shows many of the features
on YouTube resemble the ones on Twitch.

Super Stickers, for example, resemble Bit Emotes.

As part of their merchandising expansion, YouTube announced
five new merchandising partners at VidCon.

These include Crowdmade, DFTBA, Fanjoy, Represent and Rooster Teeth.
