[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too soon and awkward.   But we need to stop kids from thinking they all can quit their jobs, sell what little possessions they own, and become “influencers.”   That market is already super saturated. It’s harsh, but YouTube shouldn’t  glorify two Publix baggers that drive into the desert and watch as bad things happen. [/quote]

Too late for that. There was a book and a movie glorifying the “Into the Wild” kid that basically committed slow-mo suicide. [/quote]

Yeah, but the Into the Wild Guy was legit.  He may have been crazy but he wasn’t vlogging.  He set off on his adventure years before the internet. Theses kids, on the other hand, wanted to finance a permanent vacation from bagging at Publix from travel blogging.   [/quote]

She was a pharmacy tech. Who the hell cares what others do? She didn’t die because she was living the van life. She died because she had an abusive boyfriend. Women die at the hands of murderous boyfriends and husbands every day, no matter their job, lifestyle, of place of residence. [/quote]

Most of this may be true.  Also, none of this may be true.  What is indisputable is that the career goal of becoming a travel blogger is a recipe for poverty tinged with privilege.  [/quote]

So many clueless people on this thread. Not indisputable at all. Many writers are on the road. They blog and do other work like copyediting. Some people work for a bit, then travel. I don’t know if you mean privilege based on just race and/or socioeconomic status. While I agree that it can be easier to travel when white, there are more and more of people of color who are travel blogging and leading nomadic lives. Check out blackpacking podcast to hear some stories. [/quote]
At the beginning of the body cam video, she says she's a dietician.[/quote]
