The person I chose to focus on today is a Youtuber, Cory DeVante Williams. His channel name is CoryxKenshin and has around 11.3M subscribers right now. He posts different content on youtube, but he is mainly a gamer and a reactor. He presents a lot of characters in his video therefore it makes his videos very entertaining to watch. Although most of the time he looks like a very energetic and funny person, there are times where he would be vulnerable to his viewers and tell them the difficulties that he goes through in life, his “Regarding my retirement” videos. Once in a while, he would also post motivational and inspirational videos so that he could motivate his audience; such as his “No limits” video. Based on Cory’s videos, he appeals to ethos because he doesn’t only post gaming and reaction videos but he also presents himself to the audience. By doing this, he appeals to ethos because the audience is able to see himself, despite presenting himself in front of the media, which builds credibility.
