St. KyLIE
In her own words;
Babble, babble, babble in that awful fake Audrey accent. KyLie is so precious about herself. Saint Kylie indeed

: "I'm drawn to vulnerabliity. That's why I moved away television (oh yeah) ...I'm already very sensitive. There is so much pain out there. When people tell me they watch my videos and tell me they're suicidal, or they're escaping their husband thanks to my work because I've inspired them to want more out of life, or a kid sitting in a toilet cubicle being bullied at school and watching my videos that are helping them...."
1000% Agree!
Someone further up the thread wrote about the parasocial interactions and relationships Kylie encourages with her viewers and Patreons (which Kylie details in the Rob Murgatroyd podcast).
"Social media has facilitated an evolution of parasocial relationships. People are sharing more of themselves across easy-access platforms, and followers often believe they’re seeing the full life of a public figure rather than a carefully constructed persona. Public figures aren’t intentionally trying to trick people, but the suggestion of intimacy and connection that comes with seeing what one imagines is the real life of a public figure is really a brand-building tool, no matter how authentic and real a persona might feel. People in the media and entertainment fields are now expected to craft a social-media presence that aligns with their interests and to engage with their followers on social media."
“[Young people] are isolated from real communities, working service jobs they hate while barely making ends meet, and are living with unchecked personal/mental health problems….They have full access to social media and the information highway, but they feel more alone and insecure than ever. Being behind a screen 24/7 has made them numb to everything, anxious, and depressed about everything, and vitriolic or closed off toward anyone different from them….Young people today have it the best and the worst.” Allebach’s right: Most people online, especially those raised with the internet, are encouraged to attach themselves to brands and the characters people play online rather than to people themselves".
Though the reply guy doesn’t mean any offense and doesn’t intend to cause harm, his mere presence can suffocate the women he’s always replying to.

Kylie's parasocial relationships (which Kylie details in the Rob podcast) encourage people in distress to "watch her videos" in a therapeutic capacity are the cornerstone of her hypocrisy as she offers her (by her own words) vulnerable viewership to sponsors:
FILMMAKING PRODUCTION & SPONSORSHIP SERVICES
BRAND STRATEGY
FILMMAKING AND EDITING
BRAND AMBASSADOR
"
KYLIE'S AUDIENCE: Watch times indicate that they are highly responsive to short and long form content. Her viewers on YouTube are an equal split between male and female, with a slight variation of 10% depending on the topic. Her subscriber audience ranges from 13-64 years of age, with the strongest demographic being 18-34. Both genders and all ages show consistently high engagement with her poetry and cinematic cooking content - this is an audience that appreciates high quality production, aspirational lifestyle subjects, intellectual depth and attention to detail, with particular appreciation for all things that celebrate the Italian dolce vita philosophy of living."
