Early Access Review
I noticed that a lot of times when companies asked us to make a video, the description was cut off due to the space of the pop up and I didn't get to read the last sentences. I enjoyed the game, but there are quite a few bugs.

Vlogging doesn't always work and accepting awards for subscriber count never loaded properly; it stayed at 96% forever, and I waited 30 minutes at the 100,000 mark. It's impossible to get collaborators to work if they're dancing when you ask them to do something: they just start dancing forever. It also should be noted that you can't choose which computer your character uses to chat online :/ Also camera angles on selfies are very odd and there are settings that don't seem to be usable. I got kicked out of the network for not doing the requested videos even though I had done them because for some reason it didn't register that I had done them. I flirted with many people to get the friendship level I needed to invite them to certain events but I could only romance girls (I was playing as a girl), as none of the male characters reacted positively to romantic options except for giving gifts, where they blushed lol. When I got married the event was scheduled twice, though the second time it said my partner got cold feet ;-; I noticed more than a few typos, though that's translation issues.

It's an entertaining game, and I didn't have as much trouble with the pace as some people seem to have had. I noticed that the other channels never really got sub counts above 4K...so I was technically #1 YouTuber after a couple of in game weeks. That's probably a bug. I will say that I already had some knowledge of how the game worked, and that helped a lot, as the tutorials can be quite confusing and don't cover everything. They also cover up the buttons you need to press sometimes. I don't know if this was supposed to happen or not, but my roommate never spent more than half a second on the computer. It never really affected anything or added another layer to the game. It ended up just being semi annoying text bubbles. I would say that getting to know the layout of the houses is REALLY important. It's hard to switch between floor views and finding where things are when you first move after the school dorm is really difficult.

TL;DR: I'd recommend it, it's pretty fun IF you can deal with the bugs. I'm waiting for the music channel to be released, cuz I'm more or less finished with the game; no more big goals except for achievements. And trading cards. I like trading cards.
