  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.
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 .
