In our digital age vlogging has taken off. Vlogging is the popular practice of video-blogging and has given birth to a generation of new celebrities through the video platform YouTube. Vloggers cover everything you can think of, from bad-cooking to survival techniques, gardening, make-up advice, music and more. Law is no exception.
