This. Not only this hellish culture enables their ridiculously overpaid "jobs" but they also believe their own nonsense and they are completely overtaken by their own self importance.
Yes I feel this so much. None of them have the humility to recognise they literally got lucky and they're not special or particularly talented - some of them, arguably, are completely talentless in fact. Gabby thinks her stickers are a legit business even when her own followers have referred to what she's selling as merch. She's not some talented artist who got lucky with Youtube and has used that to gain exposure for her talent...she's just a Youtuber who can
only make money from selling this
tit because she is a Youtuber, and there is a huge difference. It wouldn't bother me half as much if she didn't prattle on about being good at it, because she isn't.
I genuinely believe because nobody holds her accountable and she wallows away in her flat all day that is why her mental health is so poor. If she actually had to turn up to a job and not victimise herself in her head every day I think she would realise how she lives is not okay.
This! I used to find the summer holidays between uni years so depressing because I had no actual reason to get up every day, in the sense that I didn't have anywhere I had to be or anyone to notice if I just laid in bed all day. It's great to relax if you're on holiday or you work normally and need a break, but I don't think it's healthy to spend your whole life like that. Having no sense of purpose, however you conceive of that - not just talking jobs here, obviously parents who have to wake up to care for children etc etc - is depressing.
