I see it now as starting a new business: contently thinking about how it is doing and how to make it better. So the obsession is natural and possibly temporary. I think it is different than average people using social media for pleasure in their spare time. So the boyfriend may just have to deal with it for a while and not have to have an intervention later.

That's a fair remark, I think. But she's fairly young, and that she wants a career in the spotlight by having a popular channel is also characterization.
I'm not saying that her behavior is obsessive, but that it's unhealthy concerning her relationship with the MMC. He's supportive, but this can turn around quickly if he gets the idea that he's actually facilitating an addiction.

But, that is just how I interpret it with no idea which is right. They would have to be quite wealthy to review a hotel every week and not end up monitizing it.

Yeah, I had that thought as well. The channel is too small to support those expenses, but I considered that maybe she's only been doing it for a few weeks or months. She could have enough savings to take the leap.

This is probably influenced by my experiences setting up a business (not Internet). It was always in on my mind, and I probably drove my partner crazy talking about it all the time. But eventually it fell into the background enough I could keep most of my thoughts to myself. Lol.

I've been self-employed as well, so I can relate. There certainly is a kind of honeymoon period. And the mouth speaks of what the heart is full of.

But just as this can turn you into a workaholic, I think there is a risk of getting addicted to the constant feedback of gaining that new follower or getting a like. I'd even argue that as her income is dependent on doing well, the risk of addiction to the happy hormones is even worse. It's not just about some random post getting a like but about growing that business. It's a double whammy.

To be clear, I'm not saying she is addicted right now, just that I think she's at increased risk of becoming addicted. And we've already seen that the MMC isn't that happy with her constantly looking at her phone either. So I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a source of conflict.

Also, reading the code, I noticed a comment left by the dev:

    # She looks at the camera again, whispers to herself
    scene pool53_2 with dissolve
    pause
    scene pool22_3 with dissolve
    pause
    scene pool53_3 with dissolve
    pause 1.0
    fmc "{size=*.75}You’re the best{/size}" # he thinks she said that to him, she actually said that to herself

So I do think there's a certain vanity or attention-seeking going on. Vain people often look for external validation.

All fair. Especially the possible double whammy of startup and online validation. Who knows, you might've just influenced the story .

People who never got validation in their youth(like from parents) can also be affected by this. Now I wonder if there's some deeper motivation on why she's so intent on having the channel succeed.

I hope not!
I suspect, and hope, that the devs have rough drafts of each character and their personalities/struggles, and how the events of the story will impact their arc.

People who never got validation in their youth(like from parents) can also cause this. Now I wonder if there's some deeper motivation on why she's so intense on having the channel succeed.

Good point! I think in that case we might even be talking about histrionic personality disorder (HPD, often confused with narcissism in current-day vernacular).
In an earlier reply I offered that her choice of starting a channel/business like this is characterization in itself.
She'd want the spotlight and attention and perhaps even dreams of getting invited and sponsored to visit exotic locations and travel the world without it costing a dime. I think it stands to reason that if you start a channel, you'd pick a topic that interests you and would allow you to engage with it more. But you wouldn't start any channel if you're not open to a certain level of fame.

The story is already outlined, which means what's going to happen is already plotted. We're writing it one chapter at a time, but the story plan is already done from start to finish, including how it ends.
