> wondering why internet fame isn't fulfilling.

I feel internet fame is more fulfilling than being a nobody slaving in a 9-5 job. And there is also easy endorsement money which comes with the fame.

I would agree that in itself, working 9-5 is unfulfilling.

But most people see work as a means to a more fulfilling end.

I don't have a particular affinity towards or against insta influencers or youtube stars. I just find the comments amusing.

"I am so much better than insta influencers because, uh, I have a job? I don't seek validation from strangers? I am not sure but I sure know that they are the downfall of the humanity"

I think generally yes, we as a society look down on those who are starved enough for attention and validation to constantly need it from strangers. That's pretty much how society has always been.
