Making shitty videos is a stupid hobby, not a job.
what's with this curmudgeon type shit? their livelihood is at risk. just because you're not part of the ecosystem doesn't mean you need to dismiss a way to make money thats worked for quite a few people.
They're lice riding on the back of a large and very efficient predator.
Nothing they can do on that platform benefits humankind, though it might funnel some money in the "creators'" direction. They're no better than the teenagers that run bindles of smack from the trap house to the junkie for a couple of bucks.
They should make a better tiktok: 5 seconds videos, it will be more insightful, and a gift to humanity... Or maybe 1 seconds videos because they will concentrate their talents. But god forbid they find a real job, that would be exhausting.
How do you feel about content like this? It’s long form, informative, and hobbyist.
Or this guy who generates customer leads to his interior design business?
If it pays the bills for those people, what difference does it make? Other than "me no likey", that is?
You can say the same about the whole entertainment industry then. You just prefer other things than short form, visual content.
I cannot say that a great movie is equivalent to a meme in an animated GIF.
