Here is what I notice... and how these things typically play out.
Typically there is some sincerity in the beginning, and over time popularity. And with that comes new raw and real and interesting change of reality, which breeds more popularity with existing fans along with new fans. The attention whoring begins but its like a credit card, at this point the limit is low and the interest high, but in time it balances out, the limit gets raised amd the interest becomes more favorable. At this stage all is still more or less genuine and sincere, often, and more growth and another wave of fans come in. It's usually around this point that it starts becoming entertainment value oriented and the substance of actual value starts dropping. At this point one has to use the credit card wisely, make good financial decisions or in this case, substance of actual value backing the entertainment value because what eventually happens is that it becomes repetitive, and to avoid the downtrend one has little to no choice but to muddy the waters between 'reality' based entertaining and scripted, a manipulation of the audience. The original fans will be the forst to see this and start dropping off, some of them will attempt to expose but this to will take time to gain momentum. The second and third wave fans will see it through for a while but when and if the second wave fans drop off, now that credit card has its hook, and the leverage against the person holding it. Eventually the downtrend becomes entropy and the person spends way more time and energy than its worth for the sake of entertaining 3rd wave fans who tend to be gullible, for little reward, as they also have to deal with all of the legit criticism and the over the top trolling. Then performance becomes that of a has been before dropping off completely, and what remain temd to be criticism and chopup vids as often times they delete their channel.
Maybe Im wrong, maybe he provides more than guilty pleasure entertainment, or maybe he somehow manages to break the above pattern that so many haven't, maybe he manages to make this actually work, by turning this in to something of substance if it lacks it now...
Or maybe this is bread and circus where the fans are actually playing a part in his downfall, under the impression that they are just witnessing 'reality'.
