A content house, or also known as a collab house, creator house or content collective,[1] is a residence which is most commonly used by Internet celebrities in order to provide a focus on creating content for social media platforms, such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Content houses are intended to provide a fertile ground for influencers to help provide content for their viewers, in addition to helping grow their profile and brand through collaborations with other members of the house.[2]

History

An early example of a content house was first seen in the 1999 reality television show Big Brother, and the franchise that the show inspired.[3] Contestants lived together in a home specifically designed to be isolated from the outside world, and the drama of the series derived from the interactions between its "housemates".[4][5] The first social media content houses were created in 2012, with one of the earliest formed by YouTuber Connor Franta for the YouTube channel Our Second Life.[6] Notable content houses include the former Team 10 house inhabited by Jake Paul,[7][8] the FaZe House,[9] the Hype House,[10] and the Sway House.[11]

On April 22, 2021, Netflix announced that it was in production of a reality television series entitled The Hype House, which is set at the content house of the same name. The Hype House is set to star various content creators such as Nikita Dragun, Lil Huddy (also known as Chase Hudson[12]), and Thomas Petrou.[13] Reception to the announcement on social media was mostly negative, with some Netflix subscribers threatening to cancel their subscriptions if the series was aired.[14]
