@Soullioness @bbbhltz @davidd @nixCraft It's always like that for jobs with high publicity (unless there are mafias involved, like the music label industry ๐Ÿ™ƒ).
It'd like to highlight that this ain't the artists' or video producers fault ("content creator" is a shitty word), but once again an inherently borked system. Having so many people being able to produce videos, music etc. even for niche stuff is absolutely awesome.

>"content creator" is a shitty word

we can all agree on that

@Natanox @Soullioness @bbbhltz @davidd @nixCraft โ€œContent Creatorsโ€ who *base their livelihood* on predatory platforms like YT, Insta, etc are as much a problem as the platform itself.

I respect artists/creators who live by Patreon etc instead of ad money. I have little to no respect for those who suckle the teet of enshittification.

@owlchemist @Soullioness @bbbhltz @davidd @nixCraft That's short-sighted. While I agree many people with high follower counts on those platforms aren't there for any good reason (especially Instagram is a shithole), there are thousands of awesome creators on f.e. Youtube. You can't change a system or make people move to a better one without the very people inside it, at least the good ones who do resist the corruption to the best of their abilities.

Iโ€™m not saying all content creators are garbage. Iโ€™m saying specifically the ones who base their livelihoods on predatory systems are.

If oneโ€™s chosen job canโ€™t exist without exploitation or predatory practices in the production chain, it should not exist.

This does not include people who make their livelihood outside that system. And I understand *most* jobs in capitalism shouldnโ€™t exist as they currently are.

@owlchemist @Natanox @Soullioness @bbbhltz @davidd @nixCraft now if only patreon, specifically, weren't itself so enshittified...
