Since most youths have seen that social media skit makers are cashing out big and living expensive lifestyles, we've noticed a majority of youths creating content up and down some of which are too irrelevant and contribute nothing to the viewers. They just want to get paid and since they want to get the required views and followers before their account is monetized, they are willing to go to any extent just to look for views including showing nudity and spreading false and unverified news just to attract their audience. In the end, some of them luckily get their accounts monetized and earn from it pulling up more crowds into the sector as though it's the only source of wealth in the digital space.
For us at this end, we know that ours isn't as loud as that of content creators and most of us normally enjoy doing things on the low key to avoid too much attention from our financial agencies since it appears as though they have a thing against us. For the traders, we know the risk involved and that it could get too good at some point or get bad at some other time, and then for the long-term investor, we know that our return doesn't come within a short space of time compared to most verified content creators that are currently earning from their page.
Which is more profitable? Content creators or crypto traders/investors.
I still think the two can perform equally depending on how you choose to put work into it. Leveraging well on the available technology the two can return well. But personally, I'll go with content creation. My reason being that(using YouTube as an example) if you get the required video to meet up the YouTube standard, even if you stop adding more content as along as the video is increasing, the income stream will still be active. But a better suggestion is combining the two, making content on crypto in this case you're getting the profit of the two.
