Saw a clip of that 'Corn Kid' from last year trying to sell merch on a quiet live stream

It was just him and maybe 30 people watching, and he looked so bored, just staring at the camera. Made me think about all those one-hit viral kids and what they're supposed to do after the world moves on. How do you even plan for a life when your big moment happens at like 7 years old?

Actually, that sounds like a pretty sweet gig to me. He's got a little online store from one funny video, and thirty people is a solid crowd for a quiet stream, way more than most kids get. That's a cool story and some pocket money he wouldn't have had otherwise.

Remember that weird fad with the pet rocks? My cousin grant347 found a box of them in his attic last year, tried to sell them online as vintage. He got like 15 views total and one guy asked if they were house-trained. Sometimes the weird little side thing is just a funny story, not a real business.

Used to think it was fun, but that's actually pretty sad.

Only 30 people? That's way more depressing than I expected.
