This is a 4 hour Magnum Opus, and it's broken through, to Jenny Tok, memes, NPR, The New York Post, Forbes, hahahahahaha

Jenny Nicholson has made a vibrant career out of this, i mean have you seen the literal thousand person list that is her patreon, on her patreon, lol, that's not even including the adsense money she gets from the tens of milions of views on youtube.

Jenny is better at video essay breakdowns than i will ever be at anything in my entire life.

She's a little woodland sprite, with an Einstein brain, who loves star wars, disney, theme parks and plushies, she doesn't care if we like them or not, but is overjoyed at sharing her knowledge, experience, and deep background research for just about anything that turns her on. As evidenced by her success, most of us remain supremely grateful for it, and eagerly await the next time she deigns to grace us with her content.

I'm a big fan.

It's weird how much you focus on how much money she makes.

It's an odd post, but I have to admit I had the same fascination. I remember finding out that she exists when the YT video I was listening to ended and, before I got my phone out of my pocket, it had auto played some girl introducing the story of a LARP theme park I had never heard of. An hour later I was heavily informed about the tale of Evermore despite giving no shits about theme parks.

I listened to a couple more of her essays on topics I have no inherent interest in, then took a closer look at her channel. I thought, I'll add her to my Patreon list for awhile, I've gotten several hours of entertainment. Queue the holy shit when I ran the numbers.

Sometimes people make good stuff, and then they are financially rewarded for that. Good for her.

Edit: English better.
