This seems like a reasonable take.

As a job, I get it, but as someone who remembers when the idea of doing YT for a living was unthinkable, it’s sad that simply posting stuff on the internet now has become simply yet another soul-crushing job.

Pretty much all the old gaming YTers I used to watch I barely have time for because of how long the videos are. Most of this is down to streaming, and how long and plodding VODS are.

Also, ditto anytime they transition to doing it full-time. I remember YT in the 2000’s when people basically just did it as a hobby.

They’re still around, even if they don’t get as much traffic as they used to.
