2. More standing in society
People want to get recognized. In other word . you can become celebrity! With Self-Made! .
3. Got privileges

Like they said ‘human love free stuff’ or anything that earn by ease.
So, with this growth of youtuber It has had an influence on the society of viewers. Upper classes and elites are mostly on youtube to record and show their amazing life-style : going to trip aboard , eat luxury things and do makeup&dressup with a hi-end brand,which The most inequality in the world ,aka Thailand, have more number of middle class and lower class people with little leisure time becuase they have to work for there daily or monthly income.These people don’t just have not enough time but also not enough income to fulfill their dreams and somehow it make them
deeply shame of their life .
Thinking why their life are not like them (youtubers) and lead to depression.
Underestimate their capabilities

Greedy
wanted to be like them But what he wants is in opposite directions with his ability

Act in the way that it is not suitable for their real personality just because the influencer does it and it turn out pretty so people imitated
People being convinced easily
From their busy and stress life ,sometime audiences don’t like to think much on the content they’re being inform when they are watching youtube on their free time , which some of the contents on youtube are not true or fake.
Or , youtube is just a platform where elite people show their luxury-dreamy lifestyle nowadays?
Another thought is that there are also various youtuber , which intends to publish something that really benefits the audience such as life-hacking , dance tutorials , tourists guidelines or make up tutorials. Hence, the audience have to had their own critics in watching videos on youtube.
