I think as others have mentioned that people have an expectation that these "Youtube celebrities" are doing well when in reality they aren't. I think the explanations about their attempts to monetize but the problems with monetization are also discussed. I didn't get the impression she was complaining about it as much as the expectation that they are doing incredibly well when they aren't.

I think it's not as much "people expect her to be doing incredibly well" but more "I expected to be doing incredibly well based on my youtube status". At least that's the vibe I get from her post. It's like that "I have to succeed" line in the article. You have a fairly steady income and spend a lot of time doing something you love; you're already succeeding. You don't want to "succeed", you want to be rich. I'm sorry you feel that being a barista is beneath you, aren't you the special one. edit: to be clear I don't mean you, I mean the person who said that :)
