Regarding the people that constantly post.. isn't there a monetary component to
some of those depending on the platform? For Youtube, I think it's about $5 per
1000 views, with a minimum payout of $100. To reach 20,000 views (for the
minimum payout) would sound relatively easy in this world-wide internet age. 

I could have garnished my first $100 for this little sampler I created:

There is probably also an element of validation going on to feel important.
Maybe even some people are hoping "to be discovered" by some entertainment
mogul and attain greater celeb status.
