Early life
Joyce was born and raised in North London, England. She attended St. Edmunds College in Cambridge, England.[2]
Career
Joyce created her YouTube channel in 2010, but did not post a video until 2012. Her first video, titled "BATHROOM VLOGGING?", was released on July 31, 2012. Since then, she has mostly posted videos on fashion, beauty, make-up, vlogs, and collaborations.
A series of unfounded rumours and conspiracies regarding Joyce began in July 2016, after viewers noticed repetition of sentences, unexpected silent stares, and awkward off-camera glances in Joyce's videos.[3] Fans attempted to reach out to Joyce for an explanation of the behaviour, some believing that she had been kidnapped or was in some sort of danger.[4] Internet users began to inspect Joyce's online activity closely, starting the hashtag #savemarinajoyce on Twitter.[5] On July 27, 2016, the Enfield Borough Metropolitan Police Services tweeted that they had visited Joyce and that she was safe.[3] Stefan Stieglitz, professor of professional communication in electronic media at the University of Duisburg-Essen, called the events an example of emotional contagion.[3]
The attention these events received from popular YouTubers such as PewDiePie and Philip DeFranco, along with many online news outlets, caused a rapid increase in popularity for Joyce's YouTube channel. As of February 2017, her channel has over 2 million subscribers and received almost 200 million views.[6]
