*except he really did care and was not just pretending.
What's to say the you tubers don't care in the same way? It's possible to do something for profit and care about the people you impact even if you don't see each one individually
The “pretending” has more to do with the fact that you’re not having a one-to-one interaction. If they were giving you “individual” attention via a speech at a convention rather than an intimate TV or YouTube broadcast, it would feel cheap. The only difference is technology which enhances the illusion. I’m sure they actually care about their viewers.
I was not referring to youtubers, I was simply attempting clarify the GP's statement.
