The limited scientific research on this subject has noted the importance of aspects such as the type of content in video broadcasts, the state of mind that these figures impress upon adolescents, and the level of proximity and idealization displayed by younger followers. To conduct this study, we developed and validated an ad hoc questionnaire. The results support the dimensions proposed and perpetuate certain gender roles. We conclude it is necessary to develop critical media education, raising awareness among families and teachers of the importance of this issue and the need to foster a critical approach in young people to “following” these new idols. El presente trabajo se centró en estudiar la relación que surge entre los adolescentes y los youtubers con el objetivo de conocer el significado y el grado de repercusión que representa seguir a un determinado youtuber. La limitada investigación científica al respecto ha señalado la importancia de aspectos como la tipología de contenidos en las emisiones de video, el estado de ánimo que pueden llegar a transmitir estos personajes en los adolescentes o el grado de cercanía e idealización que muestran los seguidores más jóvenes. Para ello, se desarrolló y validó un cuestionario ad hoc. Los resultados respaldan las dimensiones propuestas y perpetúan ciertos roles de género. Se concluye que es necesario desarrollar una educación mediática crítica, concientizando a las familias y al profesorado sobre la importancia de este tema y la necesidad de fomentar un enfoque crítico en los jóvenes respecto al “seguimiento” de estos nuevos ídolos.
