I agree with you, of course, even though there are a lot of people right now who can become famous by taking advantage of technological developments such as creating content and uploading it via YouTube, it won't be as easy as you think, indeed I also have friends who think about creating content that is currently popular. and they think that by creating content and then publishing it they can immediately make them famous, unfortunately it's not that easy. Of course there is a process that must be gone through, and to create content of course capital is needed such as tools which must be adequate.
being a content creator i think is kinda difficult and tough job i know very well that majority of content creator are just making pocket change leveraging their unstable viewer to be famous you need to have unique point that can sell your content, even then people gonna get bored at some point, there's reason why most established content creator trying to create stunt even go as far as making some random dramas.
its because they want to pump that viewer number up to able to leverage the viewers count that they earned and convert it into money.
honestly, the market is so saturated that if we are just the average person with no special capability we can be sure that our effort in being a content creator might go to drain.
like the case of what you just described, creating content won't make us suddenly famous and have higher self worth.
it requires massive effort even to get adequate stable content viewer where it can be taken advantage for affiliate marketing.
Maybe that popularity can grow by itself depending on the content that is created, but what you say is true, of course other people who might like the content that has been created can feel bored and at that time they will no longer see our content. and there content creators have to think about creating new, more interesting things. Therefore, it is not easy to do this. Of course, everything that can make money has its own difficulties. Sometimes there are people who create reckless content that can harm other people and even endanger themselves just to get a lot of viewers and followers.
I myself have uploaded several of my videos to YouTube, but I'm a shy person so I didn't continue. Then I got a job that really made my body move every day, namely working in a coffee shop, it made me comfortable even though occasionally I had to chat with new people, because that had become a necessity too. I think maybe only confident people can face the camera.
