    Yup the hype around monetisation is a scourge. It makes you me question so much of what I see, do. I hate being so suspicious. I feel like even simple life transactions are up for sale ‘see this one cleaning hack to change your life’ … idiot on a video wanders around with a duster like it’s a new invention. Even idiots filming every bite of an average sandwich. I sound old.

      I’ve seen many youtubers my family follow start out doing a thing - gaming, celebrity gossip, cleaning tips, guitar accessories reviews, whatever - and once they get to a certain size they’re in the drive thru at McDonald’s filming themselves eating a meal as an entire 15 minute video and people fucking watch it.
