Tyler Oakley built a digital empire from his bedroom — millions of followers, brand deals, viral videos — and this is the unfiltered story of how he got there. Part memoir, part ma nifesto, *Binge* chronicles his journey from small-town Michigan kid to YouTube royalty, covering everything from coming out to his family, navigating fame at 25, and using his platform to fight for LGBTQ+ rights. Oakley writes with the same energy that made his videos compulsive viewing: fast-paced, honest, frequently hilarious, occasionally heartbreaking. He doesn't shy away from the messiness — the anxiety, the impostor syndrome, the pressure of being a voice for millions of queer teens while still figuring himself out. For anyone who grew up watching his videos, this is the deep dive. For everyone else, it's a sharp, surprisingly vulnerable portrait of what it means to grow up online. Perfect for fans of digital culture memoirs and anyone who's ever wondered what happens when the camera stops recording. Show more
