I was the world's first Youtube star: Brooke Brodack

Brooke Brodack was once the most subscribed YouTuber in the world but suddenly deleted her channel and disappeared from all social media. 

It was 2005 and YouTube was still a new website. Then a 19 year old girl from Holden, Massachusetts, created a channel called 'Brookers' where she uploaded videos of herself hanging around the house, doing funny sketches, and just being creative. 

Her channel took off and gained over 60,000 subscribers, at one point being the most-subscribed channel on YouTube. She was offered a gig by NBC and moved to Hollywood... But then deleted her channel, and all social media, and moved to India. 

She tells Colm Flynn her story.
