That certainly hit home for me, given that everytime I do a video there seems to be an ensuing drama. Hence my new phrase “there can be no satire without ire.” Being visible in online video does mean that you’re easily picked on, and stalked. That’s for sure. You kinda get some of the downside of being a celebrity, but without all the money and perks.
