To go off youtubers when they turn pro influencer?

It seems to be a cycle, you find a good youtuber who makes nice videos about their lives, relatable and interesting and because they are good they get some followers and before you know it their posts are mainly about the stuff they get sent for free to try or some influencer publicity event they went to for M&S or whoever and suddenly the cosy vibe is gone and its just like watching an advert performed by someone you used to know. Even worse when they give up their job to do it full time and they lose all relatability.

I get that these days people get into it specifically to turn it into a career or revenue stream but I do kind of go off them and stop watching when they turn pro.

I used to enjoy watching someone's videos about keeping animals, and daily farm life. Lately it's becoming unrecognisable - dramatic exaggeration, clickbait, obviously using AI for descriptions/titles, etc. It's disappointing, why do they all go in this direction? She was already successful before. It's not authentic any more.

@SassyPearlEagle I guess at some point they start chasing views and revenue over staying true to themselves. I understand it but it makes me so much less likely to watch.

It’s the same on TikTok, you follow a great account then suddenly it becomes 99% TikTok shop posts!
