No. I get very anxious over online attention.

I could never be a youtuber or famous on twitter. I don't know how people handle all the heat. Even if it was all good, I'd feel stalked.

I’m not “famous” online but I have a much larger social presence than most people. In total I have more than 10,000 people following me in different ways on Facebook, a few thousand on Instagram, over 18k followers on twitter, over 50,000 email subscribers, so on and so forth.
And I had a top free book on google play for 10 months that amassed thousands of reviews before the company I published with went out of business and took it down.
So I’ve experienced a lot of perverts, a lot of complaints and negative reviews, and some creepy people that were borderline stalkers.
I’m going to tell you right now that it’s not what you think it is. Sometimes it’s overwhelming and upsetting. Every once in awhile there will be a comment or review that will get to you maybe. But because you have so many followers you also realize that there are a ton of people who will come to your defense about anything and that helps make you feel less bad.
Most people who are doing these things are doing it to make money so it’s not about attention and stuff most of the time, it’s about money. To get money you have to get more likes and comments and to get more likes and comments and follows you need to manipulate people. So social media becomes a game.
You only have a limited amount of time as well so the more popular you get the less comments you read and the more you just focus on numbers. It’s not about what people say and who they are anymore, it becomes all about clicks and likes and how many people you can get to do this or that. The more people, the more you are winning the game.
What they say or who they are stops mattering, they’re just a number to you.
And when you get more clicks and likes and more money, it becomes funnier sometimes when people insult you because then they are making more people look at your stuff because they are causing drama and you become more popular and you make more money.
You also get a thicker skin and it gets really hilarious when people call an idiot while misspelling every word they are typing and talking like an idiot themselves.
So do I want to be internet famous like Jeffree Starr or Shane Dawson? No. But some internet fame and following, even quite a bit of it doesn’t bother me and I can handle it just fine.

A Dream Is A Wish (Old), do you ever get fascinated by other people's fame? I know the question doesn't really have much to do with your post. Sometimes I'm bored and I refresh Jefree Starr's page every 3 minutes and watch the likes on an Instagram photo go up by the thousands. By the end of the day it's gone up over a million.
