Seemed to me a communication mismatch.

Youtubers try to act all perfect according to an image because they believe that what the viewers want. So they don't communicate their money trouble.

Viewers got this distorted notion that they're rich because of subscribers numbers due to said zero communication. And they acted spoiled when they do one of their sponsored videos.

50 cent supposedly recently had a similar problem. If you try to act rich people will think you are rich.

I am aware that his situation is still confusing as to the actual facts but I am speaking more in an analogy here confirming your sentiment.

I don't think they have money trouble at all, they are just saying "being famous sucks if there's no big money to offset the downsides". They want more money so that they don't have to work a normal job, take the subway, do their own shopping.

They want the rich and famous lifestyle. Being poor and famous and working hard at it is a drag.
