I'm 99.999% sure that it was written by a native speaker. It has one too many て towards the end, though.

What you need to know here is the new verb はまる. It means 'to fall deep into something'. You like something very much. The verb may still be too new to be in the dictionary.

今ユーチューブにはまってる。 = I'm loving Youtube these days.

この歌手はまるねえ~。 = This singer is so addictive.
