Hannah Hart? Is she the lady that cooks while drunk ? I think I watched one of her videos at some point and decided my time would be better spent getting drunk and cooking myself.

Yeah, you're right that our experiences differ greatly. I've never actually talked to any Youtubers, I'm simply a consumer.

I guess all I'm left with is the hope that the ones I listen to are different. I think 70% of my feed are 40 year old men making educational content and try to keep their private life private. Soooo I'll cling on to my hope they're different from the teenagers and keep enjoying the content :D

Destin from SmarterEveryDay seems like the most genuine, dedicated and interesting person ever. He wants to be an astronaut. Like for real. I think he's an aerospace engineer and actively tries to get the job. I'd love to talk to him someday.

Thanks for the perspective tho, I don't hear a lot of anti-youtube arguments in my personal internet bubble.

I've interacted with none of the people in the discussion of this thread. You may very well be right. My basic point is that the tenor of the discussion reminds me greatly of those I've met.

But hey. That's the audience.
