Internet Celebrities

In this day and age, it is possible for a person to become 'internet famous' or an 'internet celebrity'. You've got people who run their own fan-sites, and then you've got webcomic artists, then you've got YouTube. The rise of video sites like Youtube and Blip have made it possible for many people to create their own video series. The best internet projects are the ones that people do for fun, but there are a lot of people out there who seem to do anything to get attention; one of these is by flaming popular internet people. Some people find that negative attention is better than no attention, and this is a shame really. The other thing people do is think that they have the right to tell people what they should be working on. In his latest History of Power Rangers, Linkara had to dedicate a full six minutes of the video to this topic, after people complained that the series wasn't coming out fast enough. I really agree with what he said; that it is supposed to be fun, being hassled to make a series turns it into work, if it stops being fun he'll stop doing it. It just bugs me that people think they have the right to tell strangers whom they've never met that they should spend every free moment making something to entertain them.
