I never took content creation as a serious job until I started seeing content creators living luxurious lifestyles and that was when I started to believe that they're well paid. Now many people are into content creation especially the younger ones you'd see them making videos with their phones and nobody can call them time wasters because they can become rich from it. But I wonder how many of them that actually gets enough views to be eligible for payments. Content creators needs to be very creative so that people will have good reasons to follow them because I sometimes see contents that don't make any sense.
Maybe now we should! Not just well paid, they are paid beyond average salary of any high paying jobs. Well at least in where I'm living. To be a content creator one has to grow a thick skin. Imo, there are two catagory of content creators. Ones are those who makes educational content, helpful content, something that will be beneficial to the society in the long run. And the other ones are the one you tried to describe. The cringe ones, those one doesn't make sense, feels garbage and unnecessary, not educative in any manner but even with that for some reasons we feel attracted towards them. These are the things thar doesn't make sense but we watch for hours, reels funny videos etc. Those who makes them gets a lot of criticism from the society. But behind the back their cringe contents makes the huge sum of money. Cringe content = more attension = money money.
