You start off dismissive already, and you wonder why I think your post isn't a slight against the genuine hardworking 'content creators'? Implying it's not even a legitimate job/career choice? Oh let's be vague with them 'doing stuff' which could range from provide insights into a particular topic/industry.
Those people would be the people who I refereed to as "doing
useful stuff". Second paragraph, first sentence.
I mentioned "product reviews" as an example. Others could be providing tutorials, hosting debates, interviews, all manner of things.
But no the only succesful people on the platform are a bunch of 20 year olds mugging off the camera. Sure, those people exist but only a dozen have actually made any money from it. Unless you stand out, you won't be successful - and doing the same thing as them won't let you stand out.
If you genuinely think you've been misunderstood then that's your own fault for curating such a toxic mentality through your own posts.
"I've ignored the parts of your post that don't agree with my preconceptions about you and that's entirely your fault."
It's OK, reading is hard, I understand that.
You're just another one of those people who wants an argument at all times. I seem to attract your ilk like flies to ****. Which is a shame, I don't actually enjoy all these arguments. But I don't particularly like people twisting my words, or disregarding parts of my posts to make them appear to say things they don't.
Where I suspect we genuinely disagree is the people who just video themselves playing games, and actually think that the "content" is theirs, and not the game creators'.
If you record yourself playing a game and being a wise ass, no you don't deserve to make 100% of the money from that without the game publisher's approval. And if they choose to take their cut, too bad. Add some value. Or get a proper job.
