So last night for fun I did some research on a couple of YouTube influencers I’ve watched on occasion… let me be real here and say I don’t watch anybody regularly… I have what Is believed to be TBI related ADHD and as a result I have the attention span of a gnat…But I digress…
So this one influencer that I have watched a couple of times is 26 years old, skinny as a rail, owns a house in LA and a house in Toronto, is currently refinishing and furnishing the house in Toronto and makes a couple of million dollars a year by posting three videos a week that are about a week later than the actual date.
It boggles my mind that she has 1.27 million subscribers that regularly watch her twaddle.
Then there’s a couple of Korean mukbang people that are making large money eating…and sometimes cooking…but mostly eating. One of them has 4.5 million subscribers… that’s 4.5 million people that just watch her eat. (Koreans eat an awful lot of red Pepper flakes/powder…just sayin)
There’s two couples that have spent years travelling as nomads living in vans/refurbed short bus and have now settled and are about to give birth…. But They’ve bought property and are building homes with the money they make off of their videos….sharing everything personal in their lives…good money apparently…
Surely to goodness and mercy there’s something that I, as a senior, medically disabled, bald biker/druid could be videotaping and collecting a following so I too could make a living? Lol
Life is strange eh?
