The new YouTube channels with the themes of “I’m lonely and rejected, and possibly neurodivergent,” are so obviously business hustles marketed toward the many isolated people out there. The content maker will say, “I am so lonely,” but… don’t message them directly and say “me too!” Just hit the subscribe button, leave a super chat, give a donation, and let them know your story in the comments. They are all lying.
“I’m so lonely! But please, stop with the thousands of messages offering your personalized willingness to help me solve that!” It’s amazing how stupid people are, and how they can’t see the game that has been run on them for ages now. If you feel personally connected to a YouTube channel run by someone you have never met, then it just means they are running an effective business. That is all.
Anyone who is monetized and receiving money is conditioned to act a persona in order to keep that money flowing. That’s life. No one is real. Not a soul. Their "lonely YouTube channel" isn't about solving their loneliness, it is about capitalizing on yours. Hilariously, these same YouTube channels will capitalize on loneliness, while saying they are oppressed by capitalism.
Do you fucking get it yet? NO ONE IS REAL. Here is how it works, for the uninitiated:
In a world where surface-level persona is required to act and succeed, people desire and wish for “a real person” who is not running a surface-level persona. The prevalence of so many people desiring this means there is a “market” for such a “topic.” Therefore, people make content declaring themselves to be “REAL PEOPLE” and share their sad and lonely stories.
However, they don’t actually want you to solve that for them. What they fucking want is for you to interact with the channel, drop likes and super chats, and build their YouTube business.
Are you getting it yet? NO ONE IS REAL. THIS IS ALL BULLSHIT. The modern marketplace is the cult of personality on nuclear-level steroids. Since there are so many lonely people who feel alienated from society, others are propping themselves up as “self-declared spokespeople” for the socially disenfranchised. They are liars, and their only purpose is to run the YouTube hustle.
Believe no one. Truly real people disappear and do not trend. Trending requires obedience to algorithmic protocols, which, by definition, cannot be satisfied by unscripted genuine behaviors. They require tact.
Now you know. Even if you try to be "real," once you are conditioned by the first wave of incoming subscribers and payments, your subconscious shifts towards performative and self-censoring modes of being.
You want proof that I'm real? Sure, here it is.. I cratered my career and crashed my reach because I didn't want to be scripted. I was absolutely real and unhinged, and I paid the price for it. As a result of a stubborn need to express myself honestly without filters, I am regarded by many as "mentally insane" and/or unwell. What did people say when I was so called "real?" They said, "Keep that up, and you will ruin your career and life." Got it? There you go.
Being "real" is interpreted as a psychiatric crisis and is not "endearing." YouTube channels are just packaging a "version" of the "real persona" that is more or less akin to the "wounded elk" effect. It preys upon pity and compassion.
