Get a job!

YouTube snowflakes running out of ideas for what to say. It's a mental health problem, apparently.

I love it when these cunts burn out.
I wish the Click-Bait bastirts would suddenly suffer the same fate.

I can see how that sort of burn-out would be "a thing".

Many of them "do" see it as a job, providing media content is a real requirement and there is some sort of money to be made out of it. Problem is, in the same way as you have a job, you have to set hours and limits for yourself.

But it is very addictive.
You look at the stats, you see them going up, you think "Crikey, people are listening/looking at what I post" - so you get to checking the stats several times a day/week and you give yourself pressure to improve them, or at least to increase them. You get a bit of interaction from people, it flows a bit, and you think "Oh, its going to be alright."

But, a bit like the brooms in The Sorcerer's Apprentice, with the viral thing, they get this HUGE response and suddenly they are not really equipped to cope with it. A constant online media presence, or even just the semblance of one, must be hell to keep up. 24 hours a day, some cunt somewhere in the world might be wanting you to be performing like a trained seal. And if you don't, they'll go away and look at some other cunt performing like one, instead.

I can imagine just how much of a treadmill that could really get to be.
Sad

I'm sure there must be a Black Mirror episode about it Laughing

Isn't that the problem with YouTube though? It used to be random shit people put-up for a laugh, then when advertising came in it became a business.

YouTube was bought out and as we all know, when a business is taken over the goal posts are moved.

I became quite famous doing what's known as Urbex. Mine was based more on rural stuff and underground but still - I became a name.
My work started being shown on Reddit too - it was weird because my internet world grew fast. Rapidly in fact. Yes it was cool at first but I soon realised several things: I'd have to up my pace to stay 'current' with my internet world, I'd also need to keep finding and showing new content just to keep this 'world' going.
There was also the temptation to go quite nuts and do some incredibly stupid stuff - look on YouTube for 'Ally Law' and how they did stupid funny and began literally whoring themselves for likes and to sell merchandise.

I got sick of it and literally did an overnight vanishing act. I removed a heap of content from servers and various sites - it resulted in one exploration forum almost dying.
I still do the exploration, research and posting of things but like to lie low now.

95% of the content is drivel, aimed at an audience comprised 95% of dribbling imbeciles.

But there's munez in it. How do you think shite like eastenders has been on the TV for decades?

It's a bit like professional sport.
For the majority unknown, unwashed masses it's a tough living.
But if you get to that 0.01% at the top - ka ching!! Dance!

yeah plenty of people make a living out of playing football, nothing more than a living, and then when it's over it is over.

Can't see anything entertaining about Corrie or Enders never have.

But I did used to watch Neighbours for years (though maybe that was for some other reason) Laughing

I always thought Eastenders was a fly on the wall documentary. I know the BBC News is all fake, but Eastenders too, now that is stretching the conspiracy theory too far.
