That one week in March when my cousin's sea shanty went viral, and why I'm glad it died
Everyone keeps saying viral fame is a dream, but watching my cousin get 2 million views on a TikTok shanty in March 2021 then go back to his $17 an hour warehouse job by April showed me the drop is brutal. He made about $300 in creator funds total and lost a friendship over people wanting a cut, so I'll take a quiet, steady life over that flash in the pan any day. Did anyone else watch someone in their circle get a taste of that and come out worse for it?

Would he still say it wasn't worth it?
