I realise it's probably not all roses, but they make so much money just making videos and in making the videos they seem to have the money to be able to travel all of the world, move at any moment to any country they want to and not seem to have a single worry in the world. I hate feeling envious and I get the sensible thing would be to stop comparing myself to people better off than me, but when they're essentially making more money now than I probably ever will in my entire life it kinda hurts.
At first glance, yes it's a little bit envious.
But then you realise that the cost of that is to be a shallow, vapid, social-media obsessed twat surrounded by arseholes all while having to constantly be "on the clock" as whatever insufferable persona you've infected the world with. I'd rather live my modest little life. It works for me and I can sleep at night knowing I'm not whoring myself out to make a buck from whatever trend these wankers are chasing at any given moment.

Can't stand youtubers (save for ker9000 of course!) in general. I'd hate to be one.
Edit: now I'm wound up, thanks
God I hate youtubers. You can spot the strawberry floaters a mile off in real life, utterly incapable of talking without waving their hands in the air the whole time.
The annoying thing is there are good channels out there. It's the ones that seem to straddle the line between youtuber and "general influencer banana split" that are utterly without merit.
Influencers in general can get in the strawberry floating sea as well. People happy to shill whatever gooseberry fool gets shovelled their way in as duplicitous a manner as they can get away with.
These strawberry floaters have done more damage to the mental health and body images of young men and women than decades of movies, TV and magazines ever did.
24/7 "content" being regurgitated onto a willing audience who lap it all up as they try and buy into the illusion that these soulless ghouls offer.
I strawberry floating despise what most of the modern day internet has become and what tech corporations and marketing companies have done to it.
There was so much hope and optimism for the Internet back in the 90's. Then social media gave a voice to the people and it turns out the people were just banana splits.
It's the digital equivalent of those lunatic preachers who would stand about talking nonsense, except now that nonsense can reach 6billion+ people.
The human race is strawberry floating doomed.
