The definition above knows absolutely nothing of what they are saying. Content creation does NOT necessarily imply a profession. Content creators are simply someone who has the passion to create digital content of any medium. This could be anything from being a YouTube vlogger, a Twitch streamer, an animator,
a fanfic writer, a
food blogger, etc etc. They may do it purely as a hobby or as a paid profession. Sometimes,
the hobby may turn into a profession once they secure a consistent fanbase.
Most new content creators ARE aware and concede to the fact that digital content creation is a form of precarious insecure work. However, they do it anyways because they are passionate about it. They don't ever expect it to replace a full-time job, but with persistent dedication and a growing fanbase, their passion might grow into a stable source of income. No need to
throw shade at content creators just because you low-key envy it over your
ho-hum office job.
YouTuber: "I'm a content creator."
Condescending Person: "Still struggling to
hold down a job, then?"
YouTuber: "No, because I have 300K+ subscribers who enjoy my
quality content and make around $30K-50K
ad revenue yearly. So tell me about that office job of yours."
