  Valid… but also have to point out he hit big as a celebrity. When you are literally raking in millions of dollars. He was about 21 when he started his channel. and bottom line is, he got views, he got likes, and it turned into real cash. Most of our jobs etc… encourage us to grow up. His job, rewarded him for catering to his base… which of were younger than him.

    I was about to respond with this, you’re still in college in your early 20s. Most of us don’t get a four year degree done in actual four years

    We got junior devs in their late 20s because they were doing grad school until like 28

  Others have pointed out how people keep growing up in their 20s and 30s. But also as a media personality, you can’t ignore the possibility that he’s playing a character on camera. It could legitimately be he just kept acting like his younger self while recording because that pays the bills

    If this was a calculated act, that sort of makes things worse.
