Spotted on a piss-poor commercial: “internet celebrity” Justine Ezarik.
This is what Internet celebs accomplish. This is not what talent accomplishes. But your Wikipedia entry will never be as thorough as Justine’s.

I still don’t know what to think about Justine. I go from finding her funny to irritating and back frequently.

I love the iJustine haters. They just don’t get. How the hell does somebody get so many fans and not be talented (if that’s what’s being insinuated)?
If thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people click on a link you posted or watched a video you made or pay you lots of money to be in a commercial — even if it’s piss-poor — you are talented.
I think she’s hilarious. Always believed that. Yeah, she’s created plenty of cringe worthy videos, but haven’t we all…
iJustine is just the best. Everybody knows that.

At least from my point of view, I find a lot of the stuff that she does pretty vapid (I’m not unaware of the hypocrisy of that statement). Some of her videos are funny and captivating (that one where she moves her eyes to the beat of ‘Shut Up And Let Me Go’ was mesmerizing) but it’s not really my bag. She’s definitely talented, perhaps one of the best self-promoters of this Community 2.0. I guess it’s a taste thing.
Also her rabid fanbase are really fucking annoying. I can’t stand all the “OMG ur so hawt!” comments, I find it very demeaning.
