Then there's his inherent narcissism and mental illness. I don't say these as character impugning things, but rather as simple factors that caught up with him.
You mentioned this as a side factor, but I actually think his mental illnes played a huge part in his self-destruction. I have a serious mental illness and don't see it ever going well if I tried starting a Youtube career. The amount of stress would simply get too much.
Even well-functioning Youtubers fold regularly under the stress.
I discovered Spoony via the AngryJoeShow channel. He featured in some of AngryJoe's videos. AngryJoe also seems a bit burned out be now. Joe actually made me sad, when he in one video said that there were losts of games he wanted to replay, but he simply didn't have the time.
For many Youtubers what starts as something they do for fun, quickly becomes more about just doing if for the money. This eventually means they lose their passion and eventually burn out.
Now I'll let you people return to D&D.
