LOS ANGELES -- Before Tuesday, the YouTuber community spent months rallying their fans to vote. After Tuesday, they were rallying fans just to carry on.
"For many of us the results of the election are devastating," John Green, author of Fault in Our Stars and half of the Vlogbrothers channel, said in a video (above). "Donald Trump has often attacked not what his opponents believe but who they are ... it is painful and scary to be called dangerous and less than by a man who becomes president elect of the United States ... I'm sorry we have let our political discourse become so hateful."

The two launched a series called "How to Vote in Every State."
Hank, who is on paternity leave, also spoke up on Twitter.

Their reactions come after months of outreach between Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and the community of internet creators.
Earlier this year, Clinton held a Digital Content Creators Town Hall in Hollywood, where participants including Swoozie, Jennxpenn and Cassey Ho — asked the Secretary of State questions on a variety of topics including immigration, education and climate change.
Last month, digital content studio Portal A — in partnership with the Hillary for America presidential campaign — launched an innovative, YouTube-focused video series designed to target millennial voters in key swing states: Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Todrick Hall, Glozell Green and Sam Tsui were tapped to kick off the ad campaign, called "One Vote At a Time."
Their calls for left them to do what they do best: share how they feel on social media.
