Like, don’t get me wrong there are certain channels (even ones I don’t care for) that do be making a lot of content that seems like it takes work, or at least a good amount of research.
But then you got people who put out like 2 videos a year of them monologuing in a costume to a camera and maybe citing 2 books, while making 6 figures (or more), and apparently pay someone to do most of the post production work, and then post about “burnout” on Twitter.
I mean like… come on bro.
Youtubers used to work 10 hour a day grinds trying to make daily videos to feed the algorithm whereas now you just need a few hours of high quality content a year to live comfortably off Patreon/Nebula/etc revenue. I’d feel like an absolute fraud too and pretend i’m burned out
