It’s whiny out of context. But imagine doing public speaking for 60 hours a week with audience members recording everything you say to try and twist it out of context. Then throw in the endless character assassinations, death threats, and the fact he covers genocides… I couldn’t do the job he does.

Yeah seems kind of whiny since he’s super successful and was probably already well-off, but on the other hand…
I’m kind of tired of hearing that my nieces and nephews have no career goals other than to be a “content creator”.
Maybe if more people were honest about what it takes and how the social media companies have started to squeeze creators then kids would aspire to get real jobs.

Maybe not, I don’t know how much he makes, there’s a lot I’d put up with if it could mean early retirement. If he’s really making 2.8m in two years then that’s a mil after taxes and there’s no reason he couldn’t retire at 40 and live a more modest lifestyle. Could be worth it.

You can help kill their dreams so fast by helping them to start a stream (with your supervision of course, moderate their chat too)

It’s completely normal for people to want to be artists and creatives before they’re enslaving into capitalism.
