LOL you can't seriously think running to Disney at the drop of a new cupcake is not the most ridiculous thing you ever heard of? Please...
If I had an established youtube channel and knew that filming a new cupcake release could potentially make me thousands of dollars if I filmed myself doing it, then I'd be mad not to do it I'd argue. You've picked one specific example there to make the whole thing sound ridiculous however, as though any person could today create a youtube channel, go to Disney Springs to buy a new donut and make thousands of dollars doing so.
To me it shows initiative to be a successful vlogger, why do you resent them so much? The world is full of stuff that makes money that can be ridiculed.
Football Players = Ooh grown men running around a field chasing a ball and touching each other
Golfers = Ooh men and women hitting a ball towards a hole for a living
Actors = Wow, grown ups pretending they're in a space ship chasing monsters and pretending to fire guns
sites that charge money = What, people actually PAY for ? (allegedly, I wouldn't know obviously)
Fashion designers = Ooh look I've invented a belt with sparkles on it, I'll charge $1,000 for it and see how many idiots buy it
Card manufacturers = We'll charge £3 for a card with Happy Birthday on it and guilt trip people into buying it to show they love somebody
Joke product manufacturers = Ok so I've made a toy cow that drops his shorts and farts when you clap, that's something everyone needs
Electronic manufacturers = folks we've answered your dreams. Instead of only being able to have 40,000 songs on your device, you can now have 50,000
Internet Forums = let's create a platform where strangers can argue with each other about Disney World topics
If people can make money doing something that you think is stupid and angers you, then you're the one with the problem. By all means keep on bragging about how much money you make and how the way that you make money is so much more righteous than others. The reality is many on here are looking at you and thinking you have no humility and are just rude.
