I saw this exact problem with the youtuber MsBreezy, and I couldn't blame youtube enough. They seriously don't care about their creators and only want money.

Shown by how they are more advertiser-focused recently, and the striking of content. Continuing to get striked or copyright claimed really demotivates someone's creativity.

I started my own vlog a few months ago. It's not daily, in fact I'm only 8 episodes in so far. Between that and my normal work doing construction, I haven't had a wink of time off since I started. Been taking a break from both for the past couple weeks just to get my head straight and let some of the fatigue wear off.

That's not taking into account any kind of fame burnout cus it's really just my friends who watch it. Additional pressure from antsy fans and trash talkers adds a whole other level, I imagine.
The article quotes a previous Polygon article on the subject: “It’s as if their fun hobby that they turned into a career came with all the trappings of having a career.” And that's a weird thing to say. I think that author must have just wanted to rant. Most of the youtubers mentioned really do treat their fun hobby as a career that they work on pretty much nonstop.
Sure, it's absolutely possible to burn out doing damn near anything, but the main difference is that when famous people burn out, it's under a microscope from the public. Everybody has something to say about it, supportive or otherwise.

It probably isn't helped by the fact that the 'ad-pocalypse' aka the wave of video demonetizations left a lot of content creators feeling uncertain about their future, for the first time they really realized that their entire professional career is built on top of a service that is controlled by a single company and a tiny change in their policy could leave them without income, or a professional purpose.
