I was close friends with an "internet celebrity" ca. 06-07, when she became huge on YouTube. She did get millions of views (I believe; she was on of the earliest to monetise YouTube), ended up pulling everything off after being hacked and abused at her home address.

I haven't spoken to her in years but I remember the affect the depraved stuff aome people do - call pizza for delivery, leave things in mailboxes, hack the computer and steal private files, stalking.... It's just crazy.

I think this teaches us that there are two categories of people in large-ish quantities:

1) Lots of imbalanced people out there.

2) Lots of teenagers whose parents didn't instill social skills into them.

Completely agree on both parts. The people targeting her were socially inept from what she could work out but really creepy all the same. She had a computer in her room and parents with little understanding of technology.
