Like seriously, what the fuck?!
What do they have to write about? I can only imagine the quality of those books.
Like wtf?
It's like ever since John Green wrote several books, which have good reviews, suddenly every youtuber thought to themselves: I can do it too!
No, no you probably can't.
I don't know what to think about this?
When has writing a full fucking book (at least 150 to 200 pages) became such a frivolous task? Is it because of the social media and the internet?

Because they crave for attention, of course.

It feeds their self importance, besides in most cases I'm willing to bet they don't write it themselves.
Ofcourse seeing the type of individuals... you'll always have idiots that think everyone is writing their own book so they'll stupidly do it and fail misrably xD

And because writing a book is real work.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Bunch of them, Maimrie Hart, Hannah Hart, Connor Franta, one gay youtuber I like to watch from time to time is also writing a book (both of them actually). I bet there are more.

How's that a cash grab? It's just capitalizing on something they might not have later - their viewerbase. It's no different from what they already do every time they post a video.

Well, to be honest. If I'd be fortunate enough to do what they're doing and make the cash they're making. I would put my milking to the maximum too and get all the money of those idiots I can till this thing falls apart.
