We interviewed Tyler Oakley last year, after his “online family” raised over half a million dollars for charity on his behalf. Now people are saying that it’s time to start taking his clout seriously. Oakley will be co-hosting the Streamy Awards (think the Emmys for online video) which will be broadcast on TV for the first time ever—just one more indication that he, and his #TeamInternet peers and fans, has become more influential as online content and stars have gone more mainstream.
