YouTubers are perceived by young people as their equals, but also with qualities (creativity or talent) that they tend to admire. In addition, they are people who are close to their followers, in the sense that they share similar traits (age, language, culture, social context, etc.) to the adolescents who follow them, which facilitates rapid identification with them (Westenberg, 2016). Another important characteristic is the possibility of interaction, since the comments made or youtube to mp3 converter by adolescents usually have a response from youtubers, which means that they are perceived as close and friendly people (Berzosa, 2017; Chau, 2010).
