Inside the $250 BILLION creator economy

[VinceCarter]

Kids have been wanting to be famous celebrities forever. Nothing new here, just a new name.

[unnamedracer]

We definitely do need some new laws regarding creators, because Dear God, crap like “Ryan’s world” should be highly illegal

It’s abusing a child for money, creating a spoiled brat is abusing that child

All I gained was depression. No more doctors. Astronauts, geologist, physist, etc

10s of thousands but only the top 10% make a livable wage lol

[ruby.loves.pink.]

I definitely would consider a side career as a casual influencer but need a good job first

[Just_Deven]

Not sure if I would want my kiddo to be an influencer. Not stable enough.

Problem is, 99% of creators aren't going to be in it for more than 10 years, or with anything like decent savings from their efforts, and don't always come away with it with marketable skills for the next thing they want to do.

Can you please put your captains at the top of the screen instead of the bottom?

As a creator, you should know that tons of text and other crap take up the entire bottom of the screen screen real estate.

Thanks. Love your content and want to have clear access.

I mean, yeah sure. But the big players like Marvel, Youtube, DC, etc. Get way too much money while the little guys like independent channels get next to nothing. If you ever want to do work maybe be a Fiver artist

let me clarify this for you as a gen X with a boomer mindset.

when a boomer says "Real job", they actually mean "Good job". from their perspective, a waiter isn't a real job cuase you have to give up your dignity and pride, so someone pay 10% more tip on a 16$ meal. so from now on, when i write "Real" pls read "Good".

a "Real job" needs sustainable demand of it and should grantee employment for majority of people who are in it. it also needs to have a great growth potential so that you can achieve higher goals as you work more.

by that definition a soccer player, basketball player, singer, artist and content creator are not "Real job" because many of them people who invest thier life in them don't achieve that much. let's face it, how many Michele Jackson do you know? how many of LeBron James old teammates are as successful as him? and how many content creators make as much money as Bella Porch (yes, i don't know many people from Western culture).

so yeah, when are you getting a REAL JOB?

[eternalgamer]

When posting a pic makes more than a 9-5.

That’s why being an influencer is the most popular career choice.

We gonna loss Dr and Nurses

[rayanalzahrani]

I feel like it’s a bubble that will pop

[DanielChapman-ch]

Me, a Gen-Z, wanting to go into stem

[TalsScribeMitch]

Let us be fair here; back in the day becoming an astronaut was a big ambition because people talked about them.

When was, apart from this short, the last time someone mentioned astronauts?

For me it was a similar dialogue a few weeks ago, and if we do not count that it was 2018.

[Anhero]

I love hearing from the prophet and youth general presidents, absolutely beautiful ❤

[NSA-admin]

And misinformation sells because it paints an uglier more clickable bit for the algorithms.

[Murdoc_Cain]

How do you make it so you can block all the shorts from specific creators?

Be famous for trying to create a permanent '15 minutes of fame.'
