Gregory's Server@Soullioness @bbbhltz @davidd @nixCraft It's always like that for jobs with high publicity (unless there are mafias involved, like the music label industry ๐).
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.

 @Natanox @Soullioness @bbbhltz @davidd @nixCraft โContent 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. @Natanox @Soullioness @bbbhltz @davidd If oneโs chosen job canโt 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 shouldnโt exist as they currently are.  @owlchemist @Natanox @Soullioness @bbbhltz @davidd @nixCraft now if only patreon, specifically, weren't itself so enshittified...
@owlchemist @Natanox @Soullioness @bbbhltz @davidd @nixCraft ad creators are artists creators? |
