Holy goddamn this is what youtube is starting to feel like. Not all of it, just the most prominent/promoted parts. Attractive, hyperactive (post-)millennials speaking eloquently about some incredibly forced, made up situation, and it's heavily monetized and intended to build personal brand.

Half of this video was her talking about a problem that doesn't exist for real people and the rest was advertising for squarespace. Now that Bernie Sanders doesn't look like he'll be allowed to get money out of politics, he should get money out of youtube.

I partially agree with your sentiment, but actually I've seen this situation in real life MANY times, and it's really annoying. It happens when people want to seem friendly and approachable by bluffing. It's a precedent created by communicating through texts. I'm not a millennial and remember how life used to be;)

About youtubers in general, all that's happened, is tv has shifted from the big network's hands into individual's due to the recent technological ease of reaching the masses... the cream still rises to the top and advertisers still want to get in on that. (and the creators want the money.)

Is this a real thing these days?
Have people really become that idiotic? That's as dumb as people who talk in 1/2 thoughts and 1/2 sentences expecting you to fill in the blanks, that then get upset when you do so.
No wonder I avoid people.
Smell you later...smell you later, forever!

It's like a less funny version of communitychannel with more ads.
