re: Jenna Marbles surrenders to the mob; is leaving the internet

How old are you, dude?

PewDiePie is the most subscribed to individual on YouTube, it’s not weird to know who that is. Just saying.

I don’t even really like much of his content.

You also know the drama and inner circle workings of a YouTube personality named Jenna Marbles. Let that sink in.
Maybe you should put the phone down a bit and get out more.

You do know a lot of people keep up with YouTube, right? I think most people my age keep up with some online personalities. I don’t see why that’s any weirder than keeping up with movie or television personalities to be honest. I’m more of a norm than an exception on this.

And btw: haven’t watched a Jenna Marbles video before this one in probably 7 years. Not really my cup of tea, but I realize having 20 million subscribers makes you pretty powerful in the media space. Fox News for instance only has 5 million subscribers, Daily Wire only has 2 million, and even late night shows like Colbert only have 7 million subscribers. Me questioning your age is completely in line because older people don’t understand the power these influencers have on young people. That or you’re out of touch on the internet.

I just don't really understand these people with no particular skills or expertise.

I follow some hikers/fishermen/gun guys/photography guys, but that's kind of educational.

I do tip my hat to these "content generators" who manage to rake in money with pointless content, but I can't say I understand people who "follow" them.
