And obviously there's been a lot of other creators in this space who have come and gone, been wrapped up in controversy.

There are some very dark stories about how the world having access to your life

has affected you.

And I'm just curious, like how you have reflected on your career.

And when you see, you know, that, that kids want to be YouTube stars, I'm sure there's a sense of pride that you feel, but also, is there any part of reluctance of like, well, I don't know if, you know, what would you tell your younger self?

Or if you have a friend, like we become friends and you're like, oh, River wants to be a YouTube star.

What would you say to her?

You know?

Well, that makes a lot of sense because it's basically what you're saying.

For the people who say, oh, I want to be a YouTube star, there's almost, like, a follow-up question in terms of, like, what do you want to do to become the star?

Like, YouTube's just the platform that you put your art on or whatever you're inspired by that you want to do as opposed to just saying, well, I want to be on TV.

Right.

You know, like...

Do you want to host?

Do you want to act?

Do you want to be a journalist?

You know, whatever.

When you started cooking and baking on YouTube, you didn't come from a traditional cooking education or culinary school or anything like that?

And I feel like cooking, kind of to your point, I love to cook, right?

I mean, I'm not a baker.
