Reception

“There’s a little girl here who is 11-years-old and she’s already mastered the art of memes and memeing and the fact that she can say this intellectual stuff at such a young age, it’s really good but really worrying at the same time. She will probably grow up and work at Reddit or something and be like a memeologist or, I don’t know, whatever intelligent kids do when they’re young.”
The following day, The Daily Dot published an article about LtCorbis titled “This sweary, savvy, 11-year-old gamer girl is the future of YouTube.” Also on March 11th, the /r/LtCorbis subreddit was launched for discussions about the YouTube channel.
