Sosyal Medya pazarlama açısından firmalara eşsiz fırsatlar sunmaktadır. Bu fırsatların doğru ve etkin bir şekilde değerlendirilebilmesi için bu yeni dijital dünyanın iyi analiz edilmesi ve anlaşılması gerekmektedir. Sosyal medyadaki en etkili araçlardan birisi Youtuber videoları ve Youtube videoları içerisinde de en yeni ve etkili trendlerden birisi de Yotuber videoalarıdır. Ancak Youtuber videoları konusunda yapılmış son derece sınırlı sayıda çalışma vardır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı Youtuber videolarının kimler tarafından ne zaman, hangi amaçla, izlendiklerini ortaya çıkarmak, ayrıca vidoların hangi gün daha çok izlendiğini, takipçi sayısının, Youtuber’ın cinsiyetinin izlenme sayısı üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. Çalışmada veri üçgenleme (Triangulation) yöntemi uygulanmış ve veriler yüz yüze anket yöntemi, odak gurup çalışması ve ikinci verilerden elde edilmiştir. Sonuçlar kullanıcıların en çok bilgi edinme ve eğlence amaçlı videoları tercih ettiklerini, Youtuber videolarının daha çok hafta sonları izlendiğini, takipçi sayısının ve Youtuber cinsiyetinin izlenme sayısı üzerinde etkili olduğunu ortaya çıkarıştır.
