Didn't he meet his partner because she was a fan or something? I think that's the only story I've heard of a fan getting into a relationship with a YouTuber and it not ending up in the news as a cautionary tale.

This was when he was super small though like a few thousand subscribers.

I don't know anything about the youtuber-fan relationships but you could meet a non-obsessive fan and find that something clicks between you two.

My ex's sister ended up marrying a guy who started as a random Twitter follow because she thought his tweets were funny.

They might be one of the most fundamentally compatible couples I've ever met. I know correlation doesn't imply causation... but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively.

what I meant was that so many YouTubers end up being huge creeps. how many times has a YouTuber been accused of sexually assaulting someone, especially a minor? I don't think we have enough fingers between the two of us to count. just because something clicks doesn't mean the relationship isn't problematic.

but I'm happy for them, they obviously have something good going on right now.

Drew Gooden's wife Amanda was a fan before they met

I would be terrified to date a fan but he seems happy with how it's going.
