Jobs that look easy, often just seem easy as you don't see the effort that lead to it looking easy.
I've seen so many stupid people earning so much money that there is no way someone can convenience me that being a high-income content creator is not an easy job. It is an easy job but the easiness depends on your niche. There are some popular content creators here who are literally dumb and beg money online like intense beggars and they get it. One person's bank account got leaked and he had 10K US dollars in his bank account. He is not smart an actually he has disorders but he still earns more than 99% of the people in my country.
Trading seems easy when you got lucky with some random token that got you millions overnight. People used to say that making music was easy too: "just press some buttons and wait for those millions." Even though majority of those people won't make it. Same goes with being an influencer. Most of them are working their asses off just to see getting their content stolen.
People who get followers because of their physique often train that physique like there's no tomorrow, because their paycheck depends on preventing aging. And it's just a matter of time until there will be 100x younger ones taking your place.
Whole creative work and entertainment work is hard and nearly impossible to cash out with, as the whole scene is saturated with competition. This is the age when you do what you can for money, because AI is coming and renders majority of it irrelevant. If you find the market that can provide your living, it doesn't really matter what the source is.
I just find it funny when people say it's easy when you can only see fraction of those people succeeding that did try to make it.
Music creation is a very hard thing, that's why there aren't many successful musicians. It's very hard to produce massive hits. Btw I agree with you on that too, building a physique that influencers have is hard in the case of men because they always have to maintain a very strict diet to keep their muscles and to keep low body fat levels, which is very hard to do simultaniously but in case of women, it's not that hard to my mind. What I see around me is that every woman with a butt has Instagram and earns a lot of money by posting their pictures only.
