Every day you hear about some new asshole making shitloads of money doing basically nothing. Influencers, Vloggers, Streamers, Youtubers, OnlyFans sluts, people getting rich off of telling others how to get rich, etc, etc, etc. How the fuck is any of this sustainable? There must be thousands upon thousands of people by now making hundreds of thousands a MONTH doing bullshit that creates nothing of value.

I remember like 6-7 years ago there were only a handful of people really MAKING it on the internet like PewDiePie. Now when I go to youtube in a private browser I see a dozen literal WHO's doing retarded TikTok reaction videos getting 5-10M views per vid.

How do you even cope knowing a fucking 8 year old kid is making $30 mil a year reviewing toys when you wage slave at your 9-5 job and even making 1% of that is considered a high income...

I think it must be the percentages are now at a lot of really really beta types to be a follower of someone like that versus not needing as much charisma in the past to be the influencer. And the true influencers have probably ascended from the game.

It's all about scale anon, think about what you can sell to one person and scale it up to potentially millions of people. I am running an account with nearly 150k subs and by selling 1 $50 dollar course to only 1000 of those people nets me $50k in exchange for my time.

Yes here you are, hardworking and wagecucking while earning nothing in comparison to people who you say "basically do nothing", but you wouldn't choose to do nothing yourself and make milions, because you are a noble warrior of complaints

you are right that there's no value without perception in what these people are doing

Youtube replaced TV for gen Z and millenials.
Internet access skyrocketted with 3rd worldrrs, smartphones and 4G last decade too

Btw millions of views don't makes you much money with Adsense these days when you're not straight up demonetized.
David Dobrik used to make 250k a month (without sponsorship) back in 2016, then they got all fucked when Advertisers pressured youtube to lower its prices.
If you don't make the 10 minutes cut you're not making any money either

>> No.20683032

Yes, the amount of demonetization + price pressure + adblock literally fucked them in the ass, forces them to stretch out videos and make clickbait videos that don't have any value in terms of knowledge
