I was recently in Anaheim, Calif., for Vidcon, the biggest social video creator conference of the year. I create YouTube and Instagram videos for STAT, so I’ve been to Vidcon a few times as an attendee. But this year I was struck by how much of the conference’s programming was dedicated to the mental health of content creators.
I’ve covered the mental health implications of social video consumption in a previous STATus Report. But I was interested to hear more about the mental health of the people who put themselves out there on social media, often with audiences numbering in the millions.
