Why do so many Indian students start vlogging when they go abroad?

I’ve noticed a trend where a lot of Indian students who go abroad for studies start making YouTube videos or vlogs about their life there. It often includes things like grocery shopping, university tours, “day in my life” videos, and sometimes even showing off fancy apartments, cars, or just random stuff.

I get that some people do it to document their journey or help others who want to study abroad, but a lot of it just feels like showing off. Shouldn’t they just focus on studying instead of trying to be influencers? Or is it just a way to make side income?
