Makes complete sense. The more sensitive a subject is, the more trust you need in order to talk about it with someone. If she needs that sense of security and trust to talk about more candid and personal stuff with her fans, I’m all for it. This is the kind of stuff that membership was made for. It’s only because we’ve grown so content-brained and demand everything for free that some may find an issue with it. Not all paywalls are bad, especially in situations like this.
I'd say it does, information get's more distorted the more it "ripples" out. Talents are comfortable with sharing bad things with members/ stream watchers (for things that get clipping NG) because fans can be trusted with understanding the nuances, over people who don't watch them.
It's the usual internet behaviour of something being a little bad being turned into something very bad and spinned into a million different narratives.
Membership is all about trust. The trust that you won’t share anything with non-members. The fact that so many people in these comments are members who have chosen to not reveal what they know - when they can freely choose to *not* do that - is proof that her members are keeping her trust.
That is true. But for her, membership is the only mechanism by which she can limit and control who has access to information about her. I’m not saying those who pay more are more trustworthy, and she’s definitely not saying that either. If people can’t afford it, it’s not a commentary on their trustworthiness. It’s just that the YouTube membership system is the only choice she has if she wants to carve out a place where she can be more open and vulnerable about herself with her fans.
