We would need to define "famous", because just because someone has a steady cam doesn't mean they're famous :P I would think the amount of "famous" "influencers" making that much is a much higher perc

I think it's evil - by a small stretch of the word - to think that it's appropriate to forbid lying in general on a social chat platform, particularly as a bannable offence. It's also foolish to think that such terms could be

Curious why the title got changed from the article's original to the more-clickbaity version that it is now?

It might be better if those shithead peers are replaced with supportive peers who happen to be elsewhere in the world.
