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.
The internet has revolutionized the way youths live, learn and interact, offering numerous benefits such as earning through content creation. The current trends of the youths flocking to social media content creation in hopes of achieving financial success has become a norm, it's true that content creators have been receiving significant financial rewards but let's also acknowledge the efforts, dedication and luck in achieving such success. Just like @samlucky o said, Grace.
On the other hand crypto trading and investment requires a different set of skills, knowledge and risk tolerance. Both paths have their unique benefits and setbacks so we should be able to know were our passion and interest lies and follow that path. I would say that content creation is more profitable but it's too much work to handle, a content creators could be a low-key crypto investor and still make profit adding to the one they make in content creation but an investor can't do both. The only problem that content creators have and crypto investors doesn't have is, in content creation you put your privacy, your life, your self-esteem on the line but in crypto investment it's all about privacy.
