Have you ever known a good friend of family member changing because of the money or fame they got? How did you react to it? Tell me your stories!
I had this with two friends of mine. They have a TikTok & YouTube channel together which grew a lot during the corona pandemic. They went viral a lot on Tiktok which later also happend with some of their YouTube videos. Which obviously attracted a lot of attention from both fans and companies. They have been invited on a lot of events and even presented a award show twice. In all honestly I wish them the best, but it affected them as well as person itself
During the years I've seen the both of them change due to all the fame they got from their channels. One of them I know since almost 15 years, I've seen him change a lot during the years. He has grown more distant and focussed (sometimes even obsessed) on the statistics. A bad video-result in views or engagement and he felt like shit about it. The other has become focussed on the money & sponsordeals primairly. She got pregnant recently and has done tons of partnerships with baby companies, there is no day when you don't see a sponsored post or story on the social media platforms from her.
I advised my cousin to buy bitcoin when it was 3k. He bought like 10 or 15. He thanked me and sent me some pork roll (I'm from Philly and can't get it where I live in Houston), I said "mother fucker I been down here 19 years and you ain't visited. Your an electrician and my house is all fucled up. Thanks for the porkroll but you owe me a visit" that was 5 months and a few hundred thousand dollars ago. Nothing has changed. Same old Timmy

Everyone I know either with money or without was a good person or a shitbag regardless
I did. All of a sudden, their fences are up, nobody gets invited to their house for birthdays. They keep to themselves now.
I can understand that if they consider that their job or main source of income.
But, no. I don’t think so.

Stopped reading at TikTok. I hope you don't think that is a sign of success.
