I think this is aimed more at the Hassans’ of the platform than small youtubers trying to educate and make a difference.

Wanting a different world, doesn’t mean you don’t have to live in this one for now. There is no contradiction here.

Socialism is when small youtuber, capitalism is when popular youtuber.

Socialism is modest living and wealth redistribution, capitalism is mansion and lambo.
I know this upsets the Hasan fans, and for that I am sorry.

Pretty sure socialism is when government does things and communism is when government does lots of things.

Making a living as a YouTuber / Influencer literally depends on capitalist methods. I.e the platforms (YouTube , Instagram, etc), and producing and selling merch. The entire idea of “content creation” is capitalistic.

No. Even in a socialist utopia, there’ll still be “influencers” who become famous online.

Famous ≠ Making money. But sure, please elaborate how one would do so in a socialist Utopia. Consider me all ears

Socalism is when people who work at a company, own the company, and share in the profits. But not everyone will want to do that. Some will still want to do their own thing. They’d be paid by people (viewers in this case) same as we do now.
