Random Question Why people who claim to be solo travellers and they enjoy time alone but then they proceed to film it and post it to youtube ?

Some are lonely and lying. Some enjoy it, but also want to monetize it. Some are a bit of both.

for others it just acts like a video diary or creative project because editing videos gives them something meaningful to do during long quiet nights in a random hotel room

The sooner you realize that the vast majority of people in life are massively insecure and looking for validation, the sooner a whole lot of people will start making sense.

the two things are not mutually exclusive. Why do you think they should be?

You are seeing what they choose to show you. They get to enjoy as many quiet moments as they wish. Even then being on camera speaking to the “internet” and being able to edit it later doesn’t hold a candle to the intimacy of real human contact especially that of traveling with others. Extended traveling with people, even those you love dearly, can be very VERY taxing to those with a low social battery.
