Technology

first of all these people are basicly making others buy crap they dont really want. second: this is just an article about young workers, who work too much and cant seperate their private life from worklife. could have been an insightful newspiece if it werent for guardian and the usual forced buzzwords.

The responses in this thread are sick. So much vitriol for members of your own class who are just trying to make a living doing what they love and creating things.

only use things with pause buttons!

This whole article is nothing but "waaaaaahhhhhh".

They should shut up and just enjoy doing something they're having an easier time doing, than grinding your average 9-5 job. Do they really think they're the only people on the planet?

sniff sniff "It so hard to turn on a camera and make sure things look right and entertaining for my audience. I thought this was easy street but I don't know how technology, algorithms or the internet works. I just expected money to come free-flowing into my account with as minimal effort as possible that reflects how many subscribers I account for. Woe is me!! By the way, don't use ad-blockers for the amount of ads on my videos because I need all I can get!"

Meanwhile, I work in a straining job where I come home, my knees feel weak, my right ankle is aching like fuck, I am mentally drained, I barely can even put together a thought process that tells me I should even have breakfast while fighting the urge to sleep while I try to have a fraction of what constitutes as a life. As well as work in a place, where I am almost always on threat of being fired for something petty because my management feels they have to have a bone to pick with me by fucking around with me and being snarky while doing it.

And all you're worried about is fucking metrics and algorithms. Shut up. Work a real fucking job. First-world problems. I swear the Guardian went out and picked the whiniest bunch of "content-creators" there is.
