I think the other crazy thing is that people are pulling internet hustles that offer questionable value to local societies for stacks more money on less effort than those in either the service industry spiral or the corporate income bracket. It's really wild how easy stuff like dropshipping, social media marketing, playing video games on twitch, and all these other things are compared to hard work in any field. It's going to be interesting if any of that hits a collapse wall in the future.
- nradov 4y agoIt kind of already has collapsed. How many Americans actually earn enough to survive as Twitch streamers? Maybe a few thousand at most? Relative to the population size they are completely irrelevant.
- jamal-kumar 4y agoYeah, but the other low-effort high-income hustles out there? It's like the easiest money I've ever made in my life, it's crazy how easy it still is to do that kind of thing. Obviously the twitch thing seems to be about how charming you are to all the fans, but if that's your thing and you're making that money, it's a pretty crazy thing
- chasd00 4y agoa handful of my wife's coworkers and friends (she's a teacher) have onlyfans accounts to supplement income. That's certainly a lucrative side hustle for women but comes with risks as "lucrative side hustles" usually do.
