Technology

I imagine that being a content creator as a full-time job is much more difficult than most people realize. Also, the modern work environment is a hellscape, and I can’t blame people who want to avoid it. Still, it’s risky as hell - if the platform you rely on changes its compensation policies, you are screwed, and have even less legal protection/recourse than a McDonalds employee.

I wouldn’t expect a responsible person to take on that level of risk without a safety net. If you’re young and childless, then taking that risk is your call, and it’s unfair for me to judge you. If you’re relying on social media to pay the mortgage for your child’s home, though, you’d better have a backup plan and keep it ready.

You can't turn off any job. We all are burning out in this bitch. At least you're sitting at home making videos.

You can't pause the internet

Something I had to tell my mom all the time.

"Pause your damn game!"

"Its online, I can't pause it!"

I think they should stop.

Firstly, let's call them what they are, hucksters.

Secondly, I cannot think of anything I give a shit less about than their burnout at making internet videos of themselves.

If you've talked yourself into a world where you must be on social media, you are absolutely fucked. Get out. now.

So they can't keep selling their soul and dignity without consequences.
