Shame Boy posted:Twitch streamers are young people's idols and being one is a young person's archetypical goal these days. As we know SA is exclusively populated by crotchety over-30's therefore the problems of anyone younger don't matter. Now let's get back to the pressing issue of my generation: how come the cartoons on TV aren't the good ones I watched when I was a kid huh This is true. My elementary students "what I want to be" journal day is full of this kind of thing. Freaking 7 year olds wanting to be Youtubers. I wanted to be a dog catcher, but whatever.

I worked at twitch 5-6 years ago and the CEO explicitly said he wanted twitch to be the next big vertical of the gig economy so it really is as bad as it seems!

Honestly, 5% of people making 1000 or more a year is a lot bigger than I would have expected.

I think I wanted to be a space man of some kind. Not an astronaut (that seems scary), a space man. I was not a clever child.

if you made a thousand bucks more in 2021 than you did in 2020, then your wages will have barely kept up with inflation if you made 17 grand if you made more than 17 grand, your real wages went down despite the extra thousand

Tbh this is how i talk to myself a lot of the time in general, I imagine I’m giving a tutorial or explanation of something while I’m killing time, but I do tons and tons of self-talk and most of my “productive” stuff is writing or presentations so it just fits with what I’m typically creative about

A coworker showed us video of his 5-year-old "streaming" (he would give her an old phone, but the video record button and tell her it was YouTube) and she mirrored that cadence too. It was funny but apparently his wife that was WFH during the pandemic would just let her watch YouTube videos all day instead of schoolwork. Pretty problematic since the YouTube algorithms steers people down bizarre paths through terrible echo chambers for engagement.

It's a great filter. YouTube is significantly more enjoyable if you just never under any circumstances click on a video with a thumbnail like that.

My recommendations aren't too bad right now, despite youtube deciding I must see every single video on Elden Ring. Every few weeks I decide to torture myself by looking at 'trending' and god it's loving dire. Like everyone's said, so many demented, inane thumbnails of generic smiling people. EDIT: setting my bookmark to a dead channel is a great idea. Thanks
