Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
Anyone? I’ll be a good kitty 😏😉
But you can kiss it as I’m leaving 😏😋
Major YouTubers turning out to be extremists, scammers, abusers, or pathological liars isn’t even a surprise anymore. I think that says a lot about the type of danger is involved even in internet fame. As a famous YouTuber once said, “This isn’t even real fame and some of you can’t handle it.”
Even minimal fame seems to get to their heads. I believe Stan culture causes this too. How does an already vulnerable person stay grounded when that’s the case?
One second you’re making happy wheels part #765 and the next thousands of people claim to want to sleep with you. Then tons of fanart and fanfics inspired off of you. It goes instantly to the head.
You start to feel like a god. Like nothing you do will be perceived as terrible. The worst part? If you start to act like this the fans feed into it. “Yes King/Queen go off!”
Then either one of two things happen. You come back to earth and relax. Or you start ramping it up. The latter ends terribly all the time.
It seems that internet fame has two options. Use that as a platform to help others in some type of way or use it to feed your ego.
