Success is never a default in any world. Even in the most utopian Star Trek universe, not everybody gets to be a starship captain.
I actually have thought about recording videos of my hobbies and sharing them, just to share, but I'm discouraged by the high production value expectations that people have now and it's not worth the hassle. But I would never expect to turn it into a career. I respect and support several content creators, but they are handful among tens of thousands. The majority of creators simply aren't generating $5/mo in value.
- Lammy 6y ago"Contentment" would probably be a better word for what I had in mind. I wish I could just, like, exist, you know? I don't want a damn job lol
- LetThereBeNick 6y ago“contentment content,” i.e. stuff put online just because it makes the creator happy
- Chris2048 6y agoWhere do you see "high production value expectations that people have now"?
- tristor 6y agoOn YouTube. I watch a lot of other content creators and anytime anybody makes something that wouldn't pass muster as a Netflix Original there are detractors in the comments. Putting yourself out there on the Internet invites criticism and at least for me, I have no desire to allow my hobbies to be invaded by outside criticism so it's not worth the effort to produce content about them if I know I can't meet the bar required to avoid the most obvious criticisms.
