Making shitty videos is a stupid hobby, not a job.
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.
Nobody is saying that. But I will take a great meme over a shitty movie any day.
Well, that other guy was saying this so...
No, they did not. All I saw was a statement that people making a living on sites like TikTok or YouTube are also part of the entertainment industry. Which is just a fact. Whether you like short form content on these sites or not doesn't change that fact.
Your facts are yours only, and laughable too. Get a job, something that is the tiniest bit useful. But filling the internet with your inane thoughts is definitely not a job, nor does it belong in a forum dedicated to technology. The mere "fact" that any moron can pretend to have a job by putting 30 seconds videos in the latest fad is disgusting and unworthy of humanity.
Woops, I already spent more time answering your post than those idiots have spent filming themselves spewing what idiotic thoughts came out of their brains. Am I an influencer now?
You aren't making any money from it, so, no.
Like it or not, people make a living doing this.
I know. The tiktok ban may fix that for some time hopefully.
