I looked into some of the book reviews pages on youtube after seeing the mention. Lots of them out there haven't been updated in a year or more. There are some very active ones. Obviously as a writer, I was interested in the number of followers, how to submit and so on. But Youtube doesn't lend itself to contacting the reviewer and some of the links to other sites (like GR or FB) are obviously not kept updated. (That's all fine if the reviewer doesn't want to be contacted, of course).
Of the three or four I sampled, every single one was reviewing a print book, which I found fascinating. They were also younger--I'd say in their twenties. Interesting demographics.
