  They don't have stable bank accounts, unless they're making enough that they won't complain. (Usually 1-3m subs minimum)
context: The thing is that they DONT have stable bank accounts. They could not get paid for a whole week for absolutely no reason. That's why they complain. >
  
  When I was like a teenager I was making money from YouTube and I was growing pretty decently for someone who had just started and was doing basic tier level videos. Anyways, I had shit friends that led me to stopping, but also I got really burnt out because it took almost a whole day of doing a video, editing, etc. >
  
  Curious what you do for a living now… are you pissed that you didn’t keep it going or are you happy with your current career? >
  
  Happy with what I currently do, but people keep telling me to go give it another shot, so I might try it again as a hobby thing and it competitive thing. When you focus on money, and competitive and take it seriously it’s exhausting. >
  
  Creating video content is actually really difficult to do on your own in a quality manner. Sure, if you’re a millionaire and can pay people to do most of the work for you you have no right to complain but even if you have say 100k subscribers you’re probably not in that position. It requires years of regularly coming up with ideas for videos, often writing scripts, doing research and editing a 10 minute video can literally take 8 hours, then you gotta craft a thumbnail in photoshop, research keywords for SEO, write descriptions, respond to feedback etc. That’s a single person often doing the work of 10 professionals! And most of them are self taught too, and do it as a hobby on top of schoolwork + work and everything else a typical person has going on.
  So if a person can have this much dedication to do all of this regularly for YEARS I applaud them. I tried doing it myself once and I didn’t last more than 3 months. >
  
  I see your point.. but still some of them are ungrateful whining cnt, while the kids on the other side of the world are scavenging trash cans for food to eat. >
  
  I hate the "people have it worse than you" pity Olympics like this. Everyone has it worse than someone else. Doesn't invalidate their own problems. >
  
  How do you know they have a stable bank account? >
  
  He probably means the bigger YouTubers lol, obviously someone with 35 subscribers wont be making tons of cash anytime soon >
  
  Indeed, I'm talking about the ones that have over 1 million >
  
  That's not nearly as big as you think. >
  
  If they don't like their job, they should find a new one.  I've changed jobs a few times over the course of my career when I was no longer satisfied with the job that I had. >
  
  And you did that any time you complained about your job? >
  
  Watch the video from RTgames, it sums up everything I would say (changing policy, time and effort, difficulty to monetize, etc.) These people have jobs, and unless you are pulling in 1m+ views a video you won’t be rich >
  
  Not a huge fan of any YouTubers , but I appreciate some of the stuff I’ve seen. They are normal people with a different job. They work harder than most of us to cut their video, edit, fight for advertising… the pressure is on them to remain relevant or that job dries up. >
  
  A youtuber I used to watch religiously recently came back to the platform with an hour and a half long video about why he left, and it basically boiled down to "YouTube wouldn't fund my passion project for me so I quit" and the level of entitlement there chased me away from him forever. >
  
  How dare he leave a job he didn't was treating him right.
  The entitlement! >
  
  The entitlement part was more about him expecting to have fistfuls of money handed to him for a project even his own fans have said they wouldn't want to watch, and then coming back just to complain for an hour and a half because he might actually have to put in some effort if he wants to make this thing. It wouldn't have rubbed me the wrong way if it was just about him leaving a job that no longer served him. >
  
  Yep.  If I started a band, should I be entitled to money if few people were interested in listening to us play?  Or if I want to play a sport but can't get into a professional league?
  Like sorry, but few people get to do what they actually want to in order to pay the balls. >
  
  You have no idea what goes into having YouTube be your source of income, do you? >
  
  Yea some youtubers don't make much of a profit from youtube. However, Raid shadow legends. Ridge wallet. Nord VPN etc... >
  
  I mean if they're able to stay on YouTube without a side job, then I'm guessing that's good enough. Look I'm not attacking the little YouTubers nor am I making assumptions that they're millionaires. I just don't like how they're complaining to people that are in a worse position than them. >
  
  Either or. And as a youtuber do you make the content that helps with escapism or do you throw a complaint in your videos every now and then? >
  
  But... Nobody is forcing you to listen to the content where they complain about their lifestyle. Find other content creators that don't gripe in this manner? What's tiring about something you aren't forced to do? >
  
  I think people are becoming disgruntled because YouTube used to be so much better. You were allowed to curse, you could play games with mild nsfw, and it was much easier to gain and keep a platform. Nowadays, you can barely do anything without being demonetized, and cancel culture is too strong to stop. >
  
  Everyone has struggles and complaints about everything that's life. >
  
  It's not a stable bank account if YouTube can with no warning demonetize their videos for breaking a new rule they decided to apply retroactively. So kind of a contradiction
  If you are going to complain about "big youtubers" should go after the late night channels that conveniently don't get demonetized for...swearing and reporting on the news. >
  
  Idk man, I once had to edit a video on premiere pro, it was just over 9 minutes and took literally all day and my brain felt like mashed potatoes afterwards…the thought of doing that by myself for years (before eventually making it big enough to hire people to do it for me) makes me want to scream lol. And that was just the EDITING part. >
  
  I’m tired of this from streamers as well.  They all say they are overworked and under-appreciated.  They are so entitled and have no sense of reality.  They wouldn’t be complaining if they had ever had to work a 50-60 hour a week job.
  Here’s a recent example of the entitlement: My friend sent me this clip of a streamer named Sweeet Tails complaining about how she didn’t get recognized publicly by David Guetta for playing that “I’m Good” song on her stream before it got big.  She believes she deserves the respect and recognition from him for helping make that song big.  I looked up her analytics and just from Twitch subscribers, she earns over $10k a month and, on average, streams like 10-15 hours a week.  And what makes it worse is that her chat was telling her she was wronged and deserves better. >
  
  xQc isn’t really one that complains but that guy streams like 84 hours a week or something like that. He misses like 1 day a month and streams 12 hours a day, a lot of these streamers are streaming in that 50 hour range honestly >
  
  Why would you watch that shit in the first place? >
  
  As someone who has been a content creator for over 5 years. It's a different kind of stress only those in the industry can understand.
  You have to be CONSTANTLY thinking of new ideas 24/7. You have to always be working on the next piece of content. There are no breaks. If you take a break then someone will overtake you and you will become irrelevant. Platforms like facebook, tik tok etc promote creators to post frequently and reward them for it.
  When i was in the Facebook Partner Program, they literally told us for optimal algorithm results we had to post up to 18 fucking videos A WEEK! Thats a mixture of streams, short form, long form, clips etc. Utter insanity.
  Yes Content creators make big money if they are successful but with that money comes a shit ton of stress. You can't take breaks willy nilly, you have to plan shit months in advance. Sometimes years in advance. I have respect for those who make it work because its not easy at all by any means.
  It's probably one of the only careers where you have to constantly be "on" 24/7 and where your effort put in does not determine what you get out of it. >
  
  Maybe on YouTube but on all the other services all you gotta do is be reasonably attractive chick and shake your ass and the money comes rolling in by the truckload . >
  
  Yes that is true to an extent. But its not success that will last forever.
  Good looks fade when the next best person comes along. It's short success. Those who are shaking their ass on tik tok now won't be doing it in 10 years.
  There is a reason why guys like Linus Tech Tips are still relevant over 14 years after he started youtube. He evolved with the platform. Evolved with the trends. Those who evolve with the trends will succeed long term and not fizzle out.
  You only have to look at big fortnite creators who have all become irrelevant if they didn't move over to warzone. Most of them would've been pulling 5 digits easy per month in revenue. But now its nothing. Because they couldn't evolve with the trends.
  While its easy to blame women who have good looks and get fast views. Their relevancy dies just as fast. >
  
  Yeah, fuck em. Some of these assholes live in mansions. >
  
  I was running a real business that had an income of like half a million.
  I had 2 people helping me by doing little things, but I was working 18 hours a day and had no time to do anything for myself.
  I wish I'd have had that success, but with youtube, pay an editor and play video games... done.
  I'm normally the life of my friend groups, so it wouldn't be hard to entertain people at least as good as modern youtubers.
  I'd also have more free time and more ways to expand my old business using youtube so I could start that up again too, although i mostly quit to just have a normal life but I got it if I ever need to fall back on it. >
  
  You need to learn to be an actual boss. My boss neglects the dying business and manages to extract millions every year still. >
  
  I could have got employees to do it, but I didn't see that working.
  When I quit, I gave everything to my number 2, and it died so it seems it was just my unique skills keeping it afloat. >
  
  It really just depends honestly. Im a beginner youtuber myself. Only 13 followers. Its hard to come up with content to come up with and keep to a consistant schedule. Dont get me wrong though, even though I dont profit from it still something I love to do. It makes me feel I have a way to interact with society. >
  
  I mean, they're jobs revolve around pumping out content possibly pretending to be a character that aren't in real life and potentially being incredibly isolated from friends/family due to how much time they need to put into making videos/streaming. Sure, while it may not be the hardest job, it's certainly not an easy job.
  I'd love to see all the people who say it's easy to take over one of these channels for a month and at minimum keep it at the same amount of viewers with the same (probably daily) uploads + streaming time. >
  
  Is this unpopular? I am always baffled that more of them aren’t living more below their means, a few I’ve heard complain about their cost of living which really gets under my skin >
  
  People complain about their jobs all the time >
  
  Who is Susan? >
  
  Current head of youtube >
  
  Pain is inevitable, suffering is mostly inevitable but complaining is optional. I get that no one in the world has absolute 0 sufferings. Everyone regardless of where they are, feel relative sufferings. But they can choose not to complain. And it's hard to choose that when you're a YouTuber. Because the main thing about being a YouTuber is talking. And when you're so used to talking all the time, you'll eventually lose all ability to think about what you're saying. That's why all these internet celebrities eventually say something little too spicy and get cancelled. They have no ability to stop and think whether they should say or not. >
  
  So you're talking about a vast minority? Probs put that in the title next time lmao >
  
  For example 8 Bitryan is a very popular YouTuber averaging abt 200-500k views per video (after abt 1-2 from upload) and he’s shown some burnout. He also doesn’t get much sponsorship besides some merch here and there and the youtooz plushies. Everyone experiences burnout and he’s mainly a solo YouTuber and has expressed how hard it is for him to be doing it in front of a camera as he’s anxious abt how his comedy and style of videos isn’t worth watching. Sometimes support from fellow YouTubers and fans are enough to bring them back. Rather than complaining I see it as them expressing their worries and feelings. Of course for the exception of YouTubers who complain abt success not coming to them and stuff >
  
  What jobs?
