I think they should stop.

Firstly, let's call them what they are, hucksters.

Secondly, I cannot think of anything I give a shit less about than their burnout at making internet videos of themselves.

If you've talked yourself into a world where you must be on social media, you are absolutely fucked. Get out. now.

None of us can. It's just a job, just they get even more shit on because they're more public facing figures.
