119: How PetTube Became a Full-Time Career | Tyler Rugge

Tyler Rugge is a popular YouTube creator and one of the early so-called "PetTubers". In this episode, we discuss how Tyler found himself in the PetTube world, we discuss the pressures of having a large audience, dealing with internet negativity, and the dangers of getting into a cycle of buying new animals to fuel content. Tyler tells us about his large group of animals, the breeding projects he and his girlfriend Maddie are working on, how he found a Sulcuta tortoise wandering the suburbs of Michigan, and much more!
