As much as social media and self branding can hurt people, it's nice to know that for some of these women they are empowered by making these videos and earning their own incomes.

This sentence makes me mad. I find it upsetting that the Turkish women can't even use their own voices just because it might arouse a man. I understand it's their culture, but that limits these women from even talking during a video and I'm wondering if that ever gets really hard for them to abide by these rules or if they're just so used to it.

I find it interesting that people who post on social media could be doing it for all different reasons. In this case, these women need to keep making youtube vlogs in order to gain any sort of income. Others will make youtube videos for their own pleasure or to keep up with their social image.

I think this section was written very well and it makes me think about how as people "brand themselves" online ans the effects it has on others. It creates this "picture perfect image" for others to feel like this is how they have to look in order to be famous or in order for people to like them, or to "be cool", etc.

I find this sentence along with this whole paragraph sad to know that this is common for people around the world. These Turkish women who are living their lives saving up for a cookbook are dedicating their time to work, which happens to be on youtube.
