"being a content creator gives me so much freedom!"

"nah, I can't say that, it'll get taken down"
"you gotta say 'unalive' or you'll get demonetized"
"you need to stick to a specific niche to please the algorithm"

@r000t no wonder so many of them are quitting. Must be hell to double check every single word you wanna say.
Best example of this is pewdiepie with his infamous bridge clip back in the day, dude had everything people claim they want out of content creation, but he had zero freedom left with god damn disney of all companies breathing down on his neck

@Vaghrad I mean, you do have to admit that there's like... a few orders of magnitude between "suicide" and the n word.

@r000t i'm probably misunderstanding you here, but sure, there is a big difference between the impact of those words. Not saying him screaming that out to the world was a good or righteous thing to do.
I think it's a good example because i feel like having those freedoms stripped will lead one down a path of frustration, to a certain breaking point where these things happen out of a perceived pressure. Now, i'm interpreting a lot here, surely he knew of the consequences of his actions and was in a way "freed" of this watchful presence over his every action by assuring he broke every contract conceivable. maybe it was just a dickhead doing a dickhead thing, who knows.
way i see it it's an interesting case of the dissonance between the way most generally perceive content creators and how it must feel to actually be one

@r000t content creator is too vague. You can create content on the Internet for fun, for free, on your own time, without any aspirations of "making it". People who care about monetization, unalive and all that other bullshit are e-hustlers. Good, fuck them.

@r000t they mean freedom from the traditional workplace. in this sense, even with these limitations they are still more free than previously
