Videos all the time now. So wonder who comes up with the ideas first? Just crazy that these people now can't have an original idea w/o being copied all for the $$$

This is exactly why I think they need to be planning for the future. YT isn't something that's unattainable for people. Anyone new can come along and start making videos and steal the spotlight. Trends change, and the viewers interested in these channels will grow up. The vlogger market is being flooded and this is bad for business. It's true that toy channels are where it's at right now, but even these can grow stale as trends change. YT just isn't a stable form of income, and the YTers can feel it, otherwise why not continue with what appears to be working? There is a desperation lately to have MORE, and this can be seen across the board. Make as much money as fast as you can, even if it risks alienating your more loyal viewers. It's a tricky game they are playing, and it could pay off financially, but it could also lead to an exodus of viewers and force them to have to "course correct" to repair the damage.
There was a time when reality stars used to be considered legit celebrities, but now there are so many that it's just become a joke. I can see same thing happening with YTers given that they don't actually do anything to be praised and celebrated for.... not in a notable way like artists/actors/writers/directors, etc.
