‘Who did this guy become?' This creator quit his job and lost his TikTok audience

If you've built an audience around documenting your 9-to-5 online, what happens after you hand in your notice? This new tax deduction in Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' lets people cash in on charitable donations up to $2,000. Here's what to know These are the 3 best questions to ask at the end of your job interview Ikea is launching new smart home products, and they're designed to be extra easy to use That's the conundrum facing Connor Hubbard, aka ' a creator who amassed a huge following by sharing the mundane details of his corporate life as a senior analyst at a Fortune 500 company. In April 2024, The Guardian dubbed him 'the most boring man on the internet,' with some of his most popular videos showing viewers his lunch breaks and daily 9-to-5 routine. The internet couldn't get enough. 'It just seemed to get a lot of traction, because I think most of the world is working,' he told GQ in an interview. 'They have to work for a living. They can't all be influencers.' Then he quit. Not for another job, but to become a full-time influencer. Clips from a recent livestream began circulating after Hubbard told viewers he wouldn't answer questions unless they sent him a 'Galaxy,' a TikTok gift that costs 1,000 coins, or about $13. Unsurprisingly, this didn't go over well with fans. 'We need studies on the downfall of Hubs Life,' one TikTok user posted. 'Who did this guy become?' Hubbard has fallen into the relatability trap—one that often trips up influencers who go viral by sharing their ordinary lives. As their follower count grows, their lifestyle—as well as their content—inevitably shifts. Maybe it's a bigger house, more lavish brand trips, or, in Hubbard's case, quitting the job that made him famous in the first place. Suddenly, the content no longer reflects what drew the audience in. 'He left his 6-figure job FOR THIS,' one person commented. 'This storyline would be a good Black Mirror episode,' another added. (Fast Company has reached out to Hubbard for comment.) For audiences, watching their favorite influencers change in real time can feel disheartening—sometimes even like a betrayal. The backlash can be swift and harsh, or fans simply lose interest and move on. 'Hubs Life assumed people loved him, not the content,' another TikTok user observed. The internet is rarely forgiving, especially when followers feel responsible for someone's rise. It's a lesson Hubbard is learning the hard way. As one particularly brutal comment put it: 'We made the wrong person famous.'

Dolly Parton taking break from songwriting after husband's death

For those wondering why country music artist Dolly Parton has been in the background, there is good reason. The '9 to 5' and 'Jolene' singer told Khloe Kardashian on her 'Khloé in Wonder Land' podcast that she is taking a backseat from songwriting following the death of her husband Carl Dean. The pair married in 1966 and remained together until Dean's death on March 3 at the age of 82. 'My husband passed away three months ago,' Parton said of how grief has affected her creative process, adding that there are 'several things I've wanted to start, but I can't do it.' 'I will later, but I'm just coming up with such wonderful, beautiful ideas,' she continued. 'But I think I won't finish it.' The 79-year-old admitted that she 'can't afford the luxury of getting that emotional right now' as she continues to deal with the death of her husband. 'Everything begins with a story or a song,' the musician continued. 'I think that's one of the reasons I love to write, because I feel like I'm so connected to God right then,' she added later. Kardashian posted a video of herself and Parton on her Instagram, expressing gratitude for the songstress. 'Dolly, you are even more magical in person! (if that's even possible) I still feel like I'm dreaming!' the reality TV star wrote. 'Thank you for allowing me to come out and have a dream like conversation with you,' she added. 'This was definitely a 'pinch me' moment.'
