Im not going to specify what it is what I was bidding on but a well known Youtube star made a recent video and suddenly the ending bid is 3-5x what it would normally have gone for in the past. That is not an exaggeration.

Ive heard about this happening in the past but always thought it was an exaggeration or just people getting mad that a Youtube star they disliked was talking about their favorite game, but I see this as a real thing.

I will never understand the phenomenon of people buying things because their favorite Youtube star is just now putting the spotlight on it.

I can think of at least 10-20 games Ive been wanting to buy and I am sure that once Metal Jesus or James Rolfe exposes them to millions of people who havent done their research, they will suddenly skyrocket in value
