Jenna Marbles WALKED AWAY at the Top of YouTube

She had a master's degree she joked she was wasting, and became one of YouTube's first female stars.

Jenna Mourey earned a master's degree, then found herself broke and adrift.

In 2010 she made a funny video about faking good looks, mostly as a joke.

It hit over five million views in a single week and changed her life.

Suddenly she was famous, one of the first women to truly break out on YouTube.

She was loud, silly, and totally herself, and millions of young women adored her.

For a decade she was one of the biggest creators in the world.

At her peak, she looked back at old videos she was no longer proud of.

In 2020 she apologized for them and chose to walk away for good.

She left on her own terms, the awkward grad who helped open YouTube to women.
