10 Years of Philip DeFranco




Thursday, September 15, 2016 marked 10 years of Philip DeFranco on YouTube. When talking about social media platforms, we often think of it as websites that are used for leisure purposes. After watching someone like Philip DeFranco for several years, it has been interesting to watch him turn his channel into a successful business empire. What started off as a comedy skit channel has transformed into a popular alternative news network. He is a prime example of someone who has been able to turn a platform primarily used for pleasure into a career. This video commemorates his accomplishments over the years. In the video he is described as being a pioneer in this industry. After selling his company to the Discovery Network in 2013, he has continued to produce videos that spark important conversations about the world. This video is just a small tribute to his many achievements over the years.

  1. Hi Jamie,
    I am also an avid watcher of Phillip DeFranco, even though I only recently discovered him through Facebook! I find him to be so real, down to earth and honest with his opinions and ideas expressed throughout his videos. I enjoy his added sense of humour in the videos, through his language and facial expressions. Watching him comment on top news stories makes for an interesting and fresh perspective on events.
