I get what Boogie is saying. Being a YouTuber has to be terrifying as f***. Imagine going into work everyday with an insane boss that you never see and who could randomly fire you at any minute. "Hey, I just got a raise! Oh, I'm fired." A year of that would drive anyone bonkers. Imagine not knowing if two months from now if you'll be able to make your house payment. Imagine living with that uncertainty every single day. Your nerves would be shot to hell.

That's a bad perspective to have on that kind of work though. YouTube is more like a "gigging" job or an independent contractor than it is an 8-5 office job. The actual calculus you do when determining your price, whether you can make your house payment, etc. keeps the inconsistency in mind. When I used to work sound on film sets, my day rate was really high, but it was set high because I knew that I wasn't going to be working five days a week every week.

People are unsympathetic to YouTubers, like "go and get a real job." But where do you go if you're in the online entertainment industry? It's not like YouTube has a real competitor. "f*** this s***, I'm going to work at Dailymotion." People expect YouTubers to just abandon their entertainment career. But is that fair? Imagine if that attitude translated to your career. "You don't like the way the hospital is run, Doctor? Then get a real job at McDonalds then."

They're unsympathetic because those people during the spurts where they are succeeding make much more money than the average person does. The same market forces that give you a lot of money for a popular video are the ones that give you pennies when they aren't popular. It's like having the friend who brags about how much more money they're making now being an independent contractor who then wants sympathy when tax time comes and they owe all of the taxes that are normally taken out of paychecks. You can't be like "Man I like the good things about the job, but not the drawbacks that enable those good things".

Boogie did another shitty podcast

He's set up a *second* patreon just for the podcast. (his first patreon features absolutely no reward perks and he's actualy super cheeky about it. Somehow he has 184 supporters)

He also apparently admitted he stalks teens on TikTok offhand
