>Why, oh why didn't I become a content creator/grifter/strimmer/online person?
Why are you talking about this in the past tense? You can still get started now. I've been making money online since 2011--this is the only career I've ever known. I'm not famous but I have saved several hundred thousand dollars.

That was never intended for working class people to squeeze into. It was always just a waste basket for excess affluent offspring who couldn't make it as a professional. Being an infloooencer is just NEETdom for rich kids who buy bot views and get algo boosted as a means of occupying the idle. This gives them more stakes and prevents boredom, which reduces their risk taking. The added benefit is making an outlet for luxury ideas as a means of flexing their wealth and a top heavy trickle down culture transmission to the working poor who entertain strange lifestyle choices or controlled opposition views.

You will never break into the infloooencer tier, you will scream into the void.

I was a member of a semi-popular gaming forum in the early 2010s. I seen and talked to at least 100 up and coming content creators in the gaming space publicly and privately during that time. Since they'd stop by to shill their shit. None of them made it big to my knowledge. The most popular guy I ever talked to max out at like 50,000 subs and his channel is dead now. For every 1 JonTron there is thousands of people who didn't make it.

dont want to get doxxed or turn into a lolcow of some sort, its inevitable for robots who project and extend their identity too far onto the internet.

i have zero personality or interests

>Isn't that the question that you ask yourself?
No. sounds like hell. Only reason you would do it is to "be someone" to a bunch of mouthbreathers you end up despising. So then what was the point? Who do you have the adoration of? People you think are morons? The entire thing is a lie.

Like what?
>Why are you talking about this in the past tense?
Famemaxxing seems too annoying, maybe other avenues but I'm too retarded to find them even though I know they exist

>>83487671
Maybe true, maybe too delusional, but it still seems free in comparison to actually trying hard in the real world
But I'm not right about much so who knows

>>83487682
You can be very low mid tier and be fine
You say this but the internet's are vast and I can find infinite people I've never heard of with communities
Maybe I'm wrong

>>83487928
>So then what was the point?
The only point is money, literally nothing else
Which seems it would be easier than other avenues In life
That was the main point but idk

You can try to get buried with it like the Pharoahs, hoping you can play PS6 in the afterlife.

>Why, oh why didn't I become a content creator/grifter/strimmer/online person?
I value my privacy too much. I don't want to be famous and exposed to mass ridicule and criticism. The anxiety of being a public person would be very harmful for my mental health, to the point where money wouldn't matter anyway.
>who in their right mind is taking waging seriously in 2025+?
Not taking it seriously but through smart spending and investing and my inheritance, I won't have to wage past my mid 40s, maybe even sooner. And I already don't have any financial stress and can afford most of what I want. I'm at the point where I brainstorms what else I should buy and can't come up with anything worth it.

I want to start a business servicing boilers. You can change 300 a pop for the work and for changing out the flame sensor and igniter, and then even more money to swap out more parts when needed, and when it's time to replace the boiler you can make 4k for a day's work. If it's just quick service, you can knock out 5-6 in a day. Then you have those customers on your business book, and you can call them up in 2 years for another service job.

I'm not charismatic, funny, loud or pretty.
If I put a camera to my face ro do that, now I have hours and hours of me humiliating myself for 20 viewers. I will be the guy whho failed. I can't start over.
Just to think that makes me cringe

>>83487627
No, I knew about bitcoin in two thousand and fucking eight, the question I ask myself is why did I think it'd never become more than just a way to buy child porn and drugs?
I am so fucking stupid, god damn it.

>Not taking it seriously but through smart
Your back is not against the wall, my theory falls on deaf ears here, you have no anxiety
You can't relate
Mid 40s is for me In five years, I got nothing

>>83488552
Ok

>>83488667
That's the downside, If you fail and don't preserve, it's even worse
You literally have to make it for it to be worth the sacrifice

I think I did too, it was very early
The timeline is fuzzy now
Remember talking about it when it went up just a tiny bit

I'll never understand why some people think that you don't need skills/talent to be a successful online creator. It seems incredibly difficult to build an audience in that kind of ultra-saturated market. Far more difficult than just working a regular 9-5.

>I think I did too, it was very early
You probably did, it was shilled pretty often on /b/, people posting about their weird little mining setups they have running in their garage, some posting about the drugs they bought.
I wish I wasn't so apprehensive about it, I should have trusted the math nerds pushing it rather than the degenerates.
