They were the “Brit Crew,” a close-knit group of friends who shared their lives through vlogs, challenges, and relatable content. They were the ultimate trendsetters, influencing fashion, and beauty routines, and even inspiring a generation of aspiring YouTubers. But fast forward to 2024, and the landscape of YouTube, and the careers of these beloved creators, have evolved significantly.
Zoella (Zoe Sugg)
Zoe has largely transitioned away from vlogging on her main YouTube channel. She still has a presence online, though. She focuses more on lifestyle content and uploads less frequently. Her main focus seems to be her blog “Zoella” which tackles more complex topics than her vlogs used to. She also has a clothing line and co-authored books.
Tanya Burr
Tanya has taken a more significant break from YouTube. She hasn’t uploaded in a few years and seems to be less active online overall. However, she does maintain her cosmetics brand “Tanya Burr Cosmetics.”
Marcus Butler
The situation with Marcus is a bit surprising. Unlike Zoe who continues on YouTube in a different format, Marcus has stepped away from the platform almost entirely. His last upload was three years ago. He seems to be more active on Instagram now, showcasing a travel-heavy lifestyle with his partner. There hasn’t been much activity on the PointlessBlog channel in recent years.
A Look at the Rest of the Brit Crew
While not part of your original request, it’s worth mentioning Joe Sugg and Alfie Deyes who remain active online. Joe continues to create engaging content on YouTube, exploring different formats like gaming and challenges. Alfie, while not uploading as frequently, often appears on Zoella’s channel and supports her ventures.
The Brit Crew may not dominate YouTube headlines like before, but they’ve carved exciting paths for themselves. From entrepreneurship to parenthood, they’re all thriving in their own ways, proving that the magic of their early content continues to inspire and resonate with their fans.
