"The disconnect between internet fame and financial security is hard to
comprehend for both creators and fans. But it’s the crux of many
mid-level web personalities’ lives."
Excellent article. Plenty of famous people are not wealthy, and the
demands of the fans are often unreasonable.
"Authenticity is valued, but in small doses: YouTubers are allowed to
have struggled in the past tense, because overcoming makes us brave and
relatable. But we can’t be struggling now or we’re labeled “whiners.”"
Via John Mueller and Mari Thomas.
