I was close friends with an "internet celebrity" ca. 06-07, when she became huge on YouTube. She did get millions of views (I believe; she was on of the earliest to monetise YouTube), ended up pulling everything off after being hacked and abused at her home address.
I haven't spoken to her in years but I remember the affect the depraved stuff aome people do - call pizza for delivery, leave things in mailboxes, hack the computer and steal private files, stalking.... It's just crazy.

It's just crazy. I think this teaches us that there are two categories of people in large-ish quantities: 1) Lots of imbalanced people out there. 2) Lots of teenagers whose parents didn't instill social skills into them.
- tasdev 11y agoCompletely agree on both parts. The people targeting her were socially inept from what she could work out but really creepy all the same. She had a computer in her room and parents with little understanding of technology.
