I understand that content creation can be a job but it still looks stupid as fukk.

It's gotta feel crazy to start off as a streamer and know you're talking to yourself day in and day out but you got to get used to it for the inevitable "fans" if you want to make it
it looks stupid because it puts you in a bubble around people in a social setting where you are having unnatural interaction with yourself and an audience that isn't physical. it's not far removed from the appearance of the insane who talk to themselves.
the whole social convergence of the digital world with our lives has been disastrous for human social skills in record time. can't imagine the succeeding generations. people value online following likes and attention more than real life quality relationships. and the overbearing fact of the matter is that even though it is a job it intrinsically is a job of low value. the worst aspects of this are true for most content creators because the bar of entry is LOW. but there are gems in the mix. the issues is the internet allows access to everyone on an equal playing field and this is good and bad. popularity alone catapults talentless attention seeking bums next to real contributors. the gauge for value is just not accurate if the measure is fame. which is why they (tech world, advertisers) ran to AI influencers as soon as they could.

How do you think people in radio felt initially?
Literally the same shyt but in audio form, decades of talking into a mic with no feedback unless you had a cohost
atleast nowadays people can have a chat room and feed off of that

Agree but how long can you do content before your audience get tired of you or your content becomes repetitive?Looks better than working a typical 9-5 until you’re 65 and can barely retire
Few years max and then people move on to new a popular content and you’re left behind
If you make enough to retire and live off interest then who cares lol

Truth is only small percentage is making enough that they can invest and retire in few years. Most probably bring what regular 9-5 pays

People have become MILLIONAIRES from content creating and OP labels it “a job that looks stupid as f*ck”. I was going to say OP the type to think “he made it” because he finds a 9-5 that gives him weekends off, but breh can’t be no older than 13 with a sh*t-take like that
It's not as simple as just recording.
Normally the company give you a list of requirements that must be present in the video/or script that needs to be followed.

Most content creators don't have insurance...since they don't work for a company.Looks better than working a typical 9-5 until you’re 65 and can barely retire
This dude is a car accident, a bad fall, or a medical diagnosis away from losing whatever money he has made.
Sounds like most Americans

This is a silly way of looking at it. 99% of content creators make almost no money.People have become MILLIONAIRES from content creating and OP labels it “a job that looks stupid as f*ck”.

That's like saying investing in NFT's is wise because people became millionaires doing it
