Topic	What constitutes as a "Real Job"
Gheb 07/03/18 2:27:42 PM #57:	1337toothbrush posted... SpinKirby posted... 1337toothbrush posted... LinksLiege posted... "Real job" is just something people use when trying to bash entertainers, youtubers, streamers, etc. Basically it translates to "I can't stand seeing you make money doing something that doesn't suck the soul out of you and make you hate your life." Probably because there's no point to having the concept of "jobs" when they've devolved to simply becoming "getting eyeballs". Why still have jobs at that point when your "benefit to society" is the dubious "entertainment" label which is in oversupply since any idiot can do it? Why is having a job your benefit to society? You could donate or volunteer your time. The whole point of economics is to keep track of debts to others. If everyone is jerking themselves off on youtube, what's the fucking point? Can we at least get some hint of benefit to others if we're going to hang onto the concept of jobs? We'd all be able to volunteer more time if we weren't tied down to some stupid job. If the common job devolves to this nonsense, there is no point in having the concept of a job in the first place. You have far too narrow of a view on this. At the very minimum those Youtube streamers are initially providing entertainment to some people. Entertainment is important. Entertainment helps people relax, provides them joy, and gives people things to bond over. A world without entertainment wouldn't really be a deary and terrible experience. You might not find a streamer to be entertaining (frankly, I don't either), but some people do. And if watching a streamer helps makes someone else's day more tolerable, then they have contributed something. Then there is the back end of it. There is a system in place that streaming supports. Twitch/Youtube/whatever, needs support in both hardware and in management. The revenue these streamers bring help fund the company so that these companies can buy new hardware (which supports other industries and "real" jobs) and helps pay their management staff (again these would be "real" jobs). they also need to buy products from SG&A companies. They'll need to pay rent on facilities. All of these help make sure people in "real" jobs get paid and in turn can buy their own wants and needs. Entertainment is a huge multi-billion dollar industry. Most of that money is ultimately not going to the entertainers but the people with "real" jobs that support them. No entertainers and you lose all those real jobs. --- S** I have to stop doing that," Gheb said, as he lay back down and died again.* - Forgotten Love Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl <cite>Gheb posted [p:904426312] in What const...
