I think a largely ignored aspect is the unwanted celebrity effect setting in with the pressure to stay relevant. Because once you are doing it and have crazed "fans" showing up your door and calling your friends and family you better make a living off it. Because its unlikely they will stop once you want to be done. And your boss is unlikely to be understanding once they show up at her or his business.
Ironically, this is the lesson a lot of persons learned when they were kids on 4chan and co. Never put your information out there. Never ever period. It will ruin your life longterm. The internet is not a nice place. It is sadly a lesson, many people who grew up with facebook and youtube never learned. A lot of them were likely full of optimism and had a very sudden awakening where the path back out was no longer viable.
There are rather simple examples like this moment

And to be blunt, even she was naive when it came to showing the skyline. Have the right/wrong viewer and you are screwed.
There is a rather sad example of the German Youtuber "drachenlord". He is a fringe youtuber, out of work and is bullied by people in the hundreds. Yet it is his livelihood now and thus there are scenes like this

where he is selling posters.
I still think the south park episode about brittney spears is sadly relevant.
- felipemnoa 8y agoAbout the second video, could you please provide some context?
- cf498 8y agoHis address is widely circulated and he has people showing up at his house in the middle of nowhere regularly including trowing in his window and general vandalism . Thus he decided to make the best of it and sell some posters behind his fence. By now the whole villages hates him, the police is fed up because he invited people and he files complaints against some of them for vandalism. He wasnt that well adjusted to begin with and is completely out of his depth by now. He is a rather overblown phenomenon because he is incapable to deal with the attention but the basic problem is rather common. Sadly youtubers are at the disadvantage towards normal celebrities as their stalkers get to group up easily. I think very few are prepared for that kind of attention
- nfRfqX5n 8y agoi've followed those rules for a while, surprisingly hard to keep it up these days, even harder to convince others why it's not a good idea. like explaining to your GF why you don't want to show a relationship status on facebook. maybe easier now with the analytics scandal, but still
