>
> My research is looking at the (highly gendered) space of vlogging (video
> blogging) on YouTube, focusing on the mythology of vlogging as an
> entrepreneurial pursuit, or as a pathway to creative industries in the UK.
>
> As part of my field work I would *love *to go to the YouTube Space in
> London. As many will probably know, this is a massive studio space run by
> Google, that holds workshops, training sessions and provides studio space
> for the UK's vlogging elite. As part of the 'elite' nature of this
> resource, you need 1000 subscribers (or followers) to even set foot in the
> door and attend an event (you need 10,000 subscribers and 100,000
> respectively for most of the resources).
>
> Any suggestions or contact introductions would be incredibly helpful. I
> have contacted YouTube through any channel that is advertised, drained any
> Google adjacent contacts I have and even walked into the Space to realise
> there is no reception desk and it's all basically automated. So, as someone
> who has no institutional or network links to Google, the only creative and
> roundabout way I can think of right now is to get 1000 subscribers  on my
> YouTube Channel.
>
> I don't have the time (or the content) to actually build my subscriber base
> to this level so I am asking the kindly space of AoIR if you would consider
> subscribing to the channel. I do not need you to watch my content, or find
> me interesting in any way, this is purely an access issue (the things you
> do for access!). I don't make many videos so it shouldn't bother you.
>
> You can subscribe if you have a Google account, and it is the red button in
> the top right hand corner of the page.

> Thank you for reading this slightly odd request, and I hope you are all
> enjoying your summers. Please contact me with any questions.

> Best wishes,
