#3The wording of the title feels like an ad for youtube or the gig economy, but besides these winners there are far more losers.

#4I can't believe my eyes. Am I just too old? Some random persons shows herself in 5 different shirts or shows herself sitting all day on the balcony? Why is that interesting and so many people want to watch this?

#6This isn't real news. The whole "what if YouTube is a real job?!?!?!?" Bullshit was hyped up 10 years ago, at the earliest, if I recall correctly, when pewdiepie was starting to go mainstream and vloggers were getting traction. It's always difficult work. That's not the purpose of the article though - it's just trying to shine another light on an old topic to revive it for the public and make some easy clicks.

#8>Chamberlain edits each video she makes for between 20 and 30 hours, often at stretches of 10 or 15 hours at a time. Like other professional social media users, the work has taken a physical toll on her. (She releases roughly one video a week.) She used to edit at a desktop, but she developed back pain. Now she works from her bed. She keeps blue mood lighting on, but her vision has deteriorated.
She works harder than many "adults" I know. Considering the USA's collective obsession with "hard work" and long hours she should be lauded, but I mostly see comments denigrating her, probably because there's no stock price at stake. We only value hard work when somebody else benefits from it.

#9This is a good piece, but I can't see it playing well around here. Modern youth culture is treated in an as facile and impenetrable manner by today's adults as our cultures were by our own parents. Yet.. as with any generation, there's a lot of good and bad to be seen, and this generation will surely give way to one that's even more intriguing.
