Oh, it's you again, why am I not surprised.Sorry, but that is the truth. They don't care about the spiders at all - they don't care about learning, they don't care about husbandry, they don't care about the well being of the tarantula - all they care about is what that tarantula will do for them and their social media presence.
Do you know that I have been making a tarantula videos for two years before I earned a single penny? Yeah I definitely build all of my enclosures, projects and setups for tarantulas because I don't care about them. I definitely spent my childhood reading all the encyclopedias and books I could get about spiders because I didn't care about them.
I definitely got detention in my first grade because I was outside looking for spiders in a bushes and didn't go back to class when bell ringed because I didn't care about spiders.
I definitely listened to all the nagging from my mom for having tarantulas at home because I actually didn't care about them.
You don't know me and you clearly don't watch my videos or if you do, you just look them to nitpick stuff you don't like while ignoring everything else.
Stop talking crap about me on every single occasion you get, it's becoming really annoying.
On the topic of this thread, it was inevitable for hobby to become more "mainstream". Youtube videos and facebook groups definitely had huge role in this, showing how caring for tarantulas is really easy and not demanding, at least in comparison to majority of pets. And they also show how tarantulas aren't some scary creatures so people that are curious in nature will go and try to find out more. Also more and more people are living in apartments, so keeping majority of pets is not really practical, and this is where tarantulas shine.
