Summary/Abstract: The article presents how the formation of online creators, i.e. people engaged in the production of original content posted on social media, websites, podcasts, etc., took place. Considering the individual and social conditions of this process, a special role was assigned to the technological and media context, significantly influencing the narrators’ adolescence and creation. The concept of digital natives/digital immigrants was used as a theoretical framework. The considerations were based on six autobiographical narrative interviews with online creators representing diverse areas of interest. Their analysis proved that experiences with ICTs “do not fit” into the proposed typology; the narrators individualized strategies for learning them and their use.
