I didn't detect entitlement in the article. It seemed to me that she was just describing the cold economics of being a vlogger.
Thousands of people see you on social media and many of them mistakenly assume you're making a decent living. They're so ignorant.
What's more, it's those opinionated viewers with their snarky comments about selling out who are entitled. They expect free, adless entertainment by selfless, sharing Internet personalities.
I'm grateful to this vlogger for having the courage to speak out on a painful and embarrassing topic. It's given me a lot to think about.
