      A lot of my family are creative types, mostly musicians, and boomers used to live venues with very minimal YT experience. Like, they’ll have a channel with a bad live recording posted every year and a half. A few are coping with quarantine by not only coming to grips with having to shift their career to an online space, but really embracing it. They are so innocent of Internet culture and I can warn them of the pitfalls and horror stories, but till now I’ve struggled to convey how weird the dynamic of being a brand gaining a following the parasocial relationships and just... all the ways things they’re familiar with in a very different sphere are warped by TH-cam. The weirdness of it.
      This video is a gift. All the dry instructional information I collected for them was missing something. But this. This is the tone piece that brings it all together. From now on when one of them asks me to find them primers on now to get started I’m including this as the cover video.
      And if one of my very much not online relatives whose livelihood doesn’t depend on them adapting to working in an online space just asks me if they should try it for fun and they don’t even have an idea of what they’d be making yet, I won’t discourage them, but I am going to reply with this video. Their reaction will be so helpful in deciding how to advise them from here. Plus I just want to send this to my older relatives without comment at any opportunity where it’s even vaguely relevant in context.

      Headcanon: Hugh Brandity is actually a complex alien hivemind that lures in struggling young talents with the promise of fame and financial security through the power of branding, but within the cocoon Hugh Brandity subsumes the creators into its hivemind and takes their skills, which is why everybody who emerges from the cocoon comes out looking like Hugh Brandity.

      Anyone who has had a following online has experienced this, people getting upset when they try something new, people insisting that you *need* to make more of what you're known for, etc.
      I feel like it's been clear from the beginning that, for example, Unraveled cannot go on forever- people are going to be upset whenever it ends, and at whatever he works on afterwards, but that's his autonomy as a creator
      It could also be the "character" that he plays, both here and on polygon- the high intensity absurdity, relatable millennial, etc
      Obviously this being his job, it wouldn't be a simple process if he wanted to stop altogether, but as somebody who doesn't know him personally, I don't *think* that's what he's saying
      Only he could explain fr, but if I had to guess this is more just putting out the reminder "I'm a person, I enjoy making things, but nobody can keep doing the same thing forever without losing their soul to it"
      Or it could just be an absurdist take on "Viral Culture" (hmm...)
      It's kinda impossible to know for sure, he does make these jokes that are also 'no, seriously tho' like "just kidding, you're not my friend, and you have no say over what I do with my body"
