Abstract

: The term Village Youtuber refers to the trend of the emergence of content creators for the Youtube platform in various villages. As in Kasegeran village, Cilongok district, Banyumas regency, Central Java, dozens of youths have become successful YouTubers. This study tries to examine the role of these YouTubers in empowering local communities. Data collection for this qualitative research was conducted through in-depth interviews and observations. The results of the study show that the constructive use of YouTube by these youths has encouraged them to become more empowered both personally and socially. Personally, they have reversed fate, from poor to well off. The increased of economic status encourage them to collaborate in developing the village, through charity activities or economic development for the village.
