The History & Legacy of The Brit Crew: Lessons From One of The First Creator Collectives

[@natasamedic8633]

I started watching Zoe and Alfie again about five years ago when I began working, and I found myself wanting to see more of their cooking and lifestyle content. Zoe feels much more relatable to me now compared to 10 years ago, when I didn’t have the means to enjoy some of the things she showcased. I also feel like she may have been influenced by poor management in the past, especially during some of the scandals. But when she rebranded, it became clear just how much she had taken control of her own brand and matured along the way.

The wave of nostalgia hit so hard watching this video! I was such a Zoella/britcrew stan back in the day. Thank you for another amazing video ❤

[@LifewithEmrose]

Zoellas line at target was actually iconic though. I still have a few perfumes and I love them lol and I still use my makeup travel bag for my makeup brushes lol KZbin was so much more wholesome back then.

This was SUCH a nostalgic deep dive, I loved it!! I'd love to see a deep dive on Dan and Phil at some point as well!!

[@MsVictor1818]

I think this is my fav deep dive ever! I was such a fan of the Brit crew and religiously watched every video from every one of them. I’m much older now but I still watch Zoe, we have similar aged children so I love her content. I know she has some scandals but nothing compared to the scandals of recent times. It has not made me like them less. Thank you and your amazing team!!

Omg this hit me so hard with nostalgia. I remember being absolutely obsessed with these people back then. I also remember reading a ton of 1D fanfics where Zoe was used as the MCs faceclaim 💀

what I'd give to go back to those days of youtube, makes me feel old now.

[@sineadquinlan7909]

Loved this recap of the Brit crew!

[@draculena]

i was a MAJOR joey graceffa fan, and i found the brit crew through him. it was such a time.

[@LaraEstrella]

love the video!!! and you look sooo pretty!!!

[@Dreamgirlinc]

First time listening and I gasped ur so pretty omg

[@munaali840]

And Fleur de force, she was always collabing with Zoe and Louise! What a throwback, they had a chokehold on the internet but it was more by accident because none of them had any particular skill or talent they were just wholesome. I think Vine ending and all the Vine creators like the Paul brothers, David Dobrik, Liza Koshy etc moving to youtube destroyed them because the younger watchers were on Vine similar to how Tiktok has the youth today, if tiktok gets banned we will see similar thing happen where the younger viewers will have new favs and the current watchers will age out. They could have appealed to the younger audience similar to Taylor Swift, her original fans are mid 30s like her or late 20s, she has carved out a very young new audience too something Lady Gaga didnt do, they are similar ages but Gaga is seen as an adult while Taylor still has a young appeal. Perhaps you could do a video comparing the two, Gaga's stans are now late 20s early 30s so they will not go as hard as the youth, you need a strong permanently online teenage group to maintain relevancy

[@icymaya217]

Yes I still watch Fleur’s KZbin! And the other beauty Ingrid and Allison were my favs as well

[@rayasunshine444]

Can you do a deep dive on the emo group? I totally forgot their names but I was obsessed at a point.

[@charlotteweir4955]

Can't belive you didn't mention Joey Graceffa, I found out about him through the British crew😭

[@miarussell6953]

Great video!!

[@woahcol4192]

I can’t recall if I started watching Brit Crew videos (and Dan & Phil) because I wanted to study abroad in England OR if they were just another factor that made me want to do so, but I do know that I bought a Zoella makeup bag in London in 2015. (It was surprisingly spacious!)😂

[@tutu3909]

I used to watch them all and I wanted to meet them ❤😂 once upon a time.

[@lizzielopez5619]

Can you do a make up tutorial video?! Your makeup is always BEAUTIFUL!!

[@infinitescrollpodcast]

I actually did one on tiktok it's my most recent video!! @laurennmeisner 🩷

[@pinkhope84]

I loved pixiwooo through them i found tanja and Naomi.

[@JustSitAndLaugh]

20:34 Who's going to tell Twitteruser Zoë (zoewithumlauts) that ë is not an umlaut?

[@passiveagressive4983]

I did not know Troy Sivan was on the periphery of the Brit Crew

[@Sssssssssssssandy]

Did anyone else think zoe was the one talking fit the first couple seconds of the video

[@sarai1492]

I'm sorry but naomi was NOT in the group in that way!

[@passiveagressive4983]

The lack of diversity is crazy
