iamomI actually haven't watched more than a couple minutes of any of Lonelygirl15's videos, but I'm aware of what a sensation she has become on YouTube. What I only learned recently is that her whole story is fictional, that she's played by an actress named Jessica Rose, and that her videos are written, produced, and directed by two guys, one of whose bedroom is used for the shoot.
If you're interested, the Wired.com article where I read about this is here, and Lonelygirl15's page on YouTube is here. These guys have over 60 thousand subscribers, for Pete's sake. And I see from many of the comments on her vlog that people are mainly trying to use her +++ pageviews to promote themselves, too.
Interesting phenom, this.
