This paper focuses its analysis on how YouTube audiovisual content producers in Argentina develop and organize their activity, which they perceive as work. Specifically, it is interested in knowing whether they carry out their activity individually or collectively, and whether there is any form of collective organization (actual or potential) in the face of possible conflicts with the platform. To do this, a series of interviews conducted with producers during 2018 were analyzed. Additionally, the discourse of the video platform was studied to understand to what extend this corresponds to the producers' narratives. The main findings account for a marked individuality in the ways of developing their activity, a fact that comes into collision with potential forms of collective organization and reproduces YouTube's discourse.

This paper contains a reflection that arises from the teaching experience: the importance of writing in the learning process as a socializing tool, but especially as a tool for the recovery of historical memory and the eyes of the subjects as individuals and as part of the community. I decided to do the same academic and research exercises applied in the classroom and confront my teaching role, so that I can make the corrections that might be required in this process of mutual learning. In this case, the objects of study for the research were students. The aim was to make life stories with some of them, so that they could collect, from interviews, field notes, photographic records and personal documents, relevant information to write a text to present their college and personal life and, on this basis, establish a dialogue that transcends individual history.
