History
Creation and Evolution
The term was coined by Luuk Bowman, a musician who created a blog website featuring video diaries in 2002. (CITE WIKIPEDIA) However, vlogs themselves have likely been around for as long as personal video cameras have. Home videos or personal videos can be considered an early form of vlogging, before the term was created and integrated into popular culture. Vlogging has since become popularized in the twenty-first century, notably through the online video-sharing platform, Youtube. Youtube launched in 2005, allowing content to be viewed and shared much more easily. One creator by the name of LonelyGirl15 who rose to prominence from 2006-2008 was one of the first to popularize the now-traditional style of vlogging where the creator speaks directly to the camera as if it were a friend. Prior content that was considered "vlogging" did not necessarily include this, which has now become the mark of a vlog.
Like any Internet phenomenon, vlogging began to expand as the technology required for its creation did. As small, portable cameras developed and became both more accessible and higher quality, the vlogging community saw an expansion . Similarly, the evolution of cell phone cameras especially in the 2010s helped expand vlogging into something in which many people could partake.
Now
By 2020, vlogging has become a huge portion of Youtube. Many Youtubers have created seocndary channels just for vlogs, giving their subscribers an insight into their personality and their daily lives. Further, for some people, vloggin has become a full time job. Many YouTube channels have gained traction through only posting vlogs emma chambie quick rise to fame list some top vloggers foudn from a source david dobrik takl about how they have broken into mainstream media through it

Privacy
Due to the intimate nature of vlog content, many vloggers tend to share a lot of their personal information in their videos. In "Day in My Life" videos, for example, a creator may show much of their daily routine, including their home, places they frequently visit, and their friends and families. By sharing this information online, they put their own privacy at risk. One recent development in the past few years has been viewers locating and showing up to vloggers' houses. Popular vlogger David Dobrik, whose house is frequently shown in his videos, explained that this had started happening to him and begged fans in a tweet to “BUT PLEASE STOP COMING TO MY FUCKING HOUSE.” (CITE https://www.thedailybeast.com/youtube-stars-like-david-dobrik-and-colleen-ballinger-are-begging-fans-not-to-stalk-them-at-home) Vloggers and sisters Rachel and Colleen Ballinger elaborated on the issue in their podcast, saying that it triggers fear and anxiety because their home is somewhere "where [they're] supposed to feel safe."

Problems for Vloggers
Many vloggers have opened up in recent years about struggles with various mental health and disordered eating issues as a result of their vlogging and stardom. Being on camera constantly and receiving criticism from vlog viewers can cause creators feel the need to conform to societal beauty standards. The pressure for those with large followings can then lead to the development of insecurities and body image problems. One YouTube lifestyle vlogger, Meredith Foster, revealed in a video posted on August 10, 2019 that she had struggled with body dysmorphia due to the
