The responses in this thread are sick. So much vitriol for members of your own class who are just trying to make a living doing what they love and creating things.
I dont give a fuck about their burnout lol. if they love it so much why are they whining about doing it?
I'm in health care, you think illness has a pause button? I chose this, they chose theirs.
in the early days of the internet, I'm talking GeoCities days, I started what would be called a podcast about gaming. I recorded with windows sound recorder and a shitty Logitech desktop mic and then ran it through RealAudio to compress it to a downloadable format.
I shared it with communities online like IRC and BBS's.
I got shit on so fucking much that I quit after my 6th cast. I received so much hate that I honestly thought of self harm.
now, it wasn't right that it happened. but, it happened decades ago before podcasting, live streaming, YouTube, content creators, and influencers were a "thing". my point is, it is a danger of creating anything for the world. if you don't have the skin for it, the world will eat you alive, so get over it.
