   Regarding the people that constantly post.. isn't there a monetary component   
   to some of those depending on the platform? For Youtube, I think it's about $5   
   per 1000 views, with a minimum payout of $100. To reach 20,000 views (for the   
   minimum payout) would sound relatively easy in this world-wide internet age.    
      
   I could have garnished my first $100 for this little sampler I created:   
   https://youtu.be/AENmsEVltcQ  ..but that was 11 years ago. LOL   
      
   There is probably also an element of validation going on to feel important.   
   Maybe even some people are hoping "to be discovered" by some entertainment   
   mogul and attain greater celeb status.
