This Is Not A Recent Phenomenon.

I want to forestall all kinds of caveats, like "do not use the broad brush", and say that among the myriad of personal videos on YT there are some videos which do represent touching and sincere, very human, side of people's lives and they are greatly appreciated. Just take a look at this girl. 

She is an inspiration for many people and her videos do help people in distress, they support them. She puts things into perspective.

But what if you have no skills, no serious knowledge of anything, no ability to properly comment on the state of the world, but still want to be seen, monetized, and "liked". Ohhh, there are number of ways of doing it. How about exposing a fake façade of your personal lives, like this annoying Russian-American couple with their incessant cringe-worthy exposition of their plastic "happiness". Real happiness is always silent and is away from the public eye. 

But what else? Ahh, travel vlogs. Yes, travelling around the world and ... again, make no mistake--there are some travel vlogs which are truly great, but again--when you are a product of reprogramming PJW is spot on:

It is ALWAYS about integrity and calling a spade a spade. I couldn't miss on this video because I myself got sick and tired of everything being viewed only through the prism of grievances (often justified) and not on its own merit.
