Jenny Hoyos wants to be your internet best friend.
That might sound ambitious for someone with more than 12 million YouTube subscribers .
But for Hoyos, the feeling of accessibility is a fundamental part of being a creator .
"I don't want to feel like someone that just shows [up] once a week or once a month," Hoyos told Mashable and other journalists during a roundtable at the Made On YouTube event in New York City on Wednesday.
"I want them to see, 'Wow, Jenny's accessible 24/7.
She is responding all the time.
She is posting every day, several times.'" Then she laughed.
"Does she sleep? Maybe not.
Not enough." SEE ALSO: MeganPlays has been on YouTube for 13 years.

Maintaining that level of intimacy with millions of people is, unsurprisingly, a lot of work.
At Hoyos' scale, it's also become a team effort.
"I basically have someone to do everything," she said.
