Weird Things Successful Youtubers have in common

I've noticed that a disproportionate amount of Youtubers have some kind of mental illness, or did in the past.
I know, I find it quite shocking how many YouTubers have depression. But then again, it can probably be explained. Most people with depression had a troubled childhood and probably had trouble connecting to people later in their lives, so YouTube is a way to connect.
 
Most big YouTubers and a lot of smaller ones were the weird kids in school, thats why so many of them have had mental illnesses or have come out. YouTube used to be a place for the less popular, less cool kids but slowly its changing into a free-for-all which I find odd but it's not my call :')

True, but most successful people in the world were the weird kids. The class clowns and the popular ones end up being the biggest failures in almost every career in most cases.

To everyone else, I never thought about some of the things you mentioned but it is true! The beauty of it is we know it's not just youtubers "coming out" or with super "depression". Depression is rather "normal" due to a major lack of self love so I don't think that is weird. I also know a lot of big youtubers who do not interact with their fans AT ALL. That's cool too! Leaving that mystery keeps people coming back like "how-to basic" and similar ppl.

Another huge thing that connects them is they do not "over think" things. Many smaller youtubers over think EVERYTHING! So even when given tips the first thing that comes to mind is "it can't be that simple" which prevents their success because if they simply did the task presented it would've worked out perfectly.
 
Most of them have a sad story behind them. "Draw my life"

Also if the pisces thing is correct them that explains why my channel exploded! My best friend is a pisces ...

Most of them worked really hard to get big. They also mostly live in LA, know each other and drive nice cars. I wonder if there are any big youtubers that have multiple big channels that we don't know about. What if HowToBasic is Shane Dawson, or some other famous youtuber?

haha That would be funny. HowToBasic is Australian tho, and I'm 99% sure that's his only channel :D

Well that was just an example. I'm just saying that some of them could have other youtube channels where you don't know its them. These channels could be big, or small. Maybe they want to see if they can win at youtube again.
 
They should try that, I'm curious now. Like what David O'riley did with his octocat animations
