This is when a parent should say:

NO, YOU CAN’T DO THIS!!!

I believe the term for that is “mukbang.”

Now, I could understand that if she were giving out the answers to tomorrow’s big test, but other than that….

There was not a lot to see on the net in 1999…

The birth of the modern day “Influencer”?

And here begins the start of weird streaming obsessions.

2.98 million of them are dirty old men.

But is she monetizing her popularity?

This was before ‘Only Fans’. If it had existed then, she’d be pulling in some serious money.

This is the exact moment when Alex and Mike could have seized the future: "How can we monetize three million people watching her do homework?

Still sort of creepy, but you do you girl. (Every notice that when people say “you do you” what they mean is "I want nothing to do with what you’re doing. Not my monkey. Not my circus.)

What is the count when you come out of the shower? Never mind, Mike’s head would probably explode.

Funny how people think they want to be famous, but then when the reality hits they don’t like it.

Having fun, Alex?

Kids these days and their obsession with being seen on the Internet! …wait, 1999? I mean, uh, get off my lawn!

So if your name was Cameron, and you made machine parts, you could have a Cam-cam-cam.

It the WAY she does her homework – so aspirational! :)

I remember a lot of people who were hooked on JenniCam. People would spend hours watching her make coffee or watch TV. This was the late 90’s and the Interweb was just a baby. But i never got into it

That’s because they need help with their own homework.

These days that many people watch people play video games.

“I always feel like [3 million people are] watchin’ meeeee!”

Does she eat like a slob?

She puts her top on when daddy comes in.
