They get paid and they provide a service.

Its a real job. Just a non-traditional one that couldn't exist before the internet.

You were arguing that they get paid real money. So do the homeless. The homeless do not have a job. Thought it was pretty clear, apparently it wasn't.

It's effectively the world's single largest television channel, with a bigger potential viewership than any one country could provide on its own.

People want to consume content on it, specialist to their own interests, content creators can make a great living from providing this if they are successful.

You realize donate and pay don't mean the same thing, right? Giving someone money isn't paying them. Unless the homeless person in question is being paid for an actual service provided... which is a job.

YouTube content creators are no different from the people creating TV shows for a cable network, except they work independently.

Whether you think that content is quality is another thing entirely.

It's not a real job and people need to stop presenting it to children as if it is. At least when we told kids they could be an astronaut, even if it wasn't true it made them want to do well in school and learn science and go to college. You have about the same chance of being successful on youtube but when you fail there's no reasonable career backup.

If it takes off, it takes a lot of dedication and many hours of editing. It's not just being an entertaining personality - it's all the work behind the scenes to produce good videos.

I'm probably not going to bother with YouTube - just streaming for fun. If people want to see more and better and want to toss a little coin my way, not a problem.

It's basically being a street performer, but online.

Um yes there is. You can produce, engineer, direct etc. You have a portfolio. Nobody that's skilled enough to cultivate and maintain an audience through their own content, is ever without opportunities. That's kind of the beauty of it.

Now in contrast let's talk about college degrees and how increasingly irrelevant theyre becoming.

If it earns you enough to keep a roof over your head, food on the table, and the tax man happy; It's a real job.

But it is a job for a lot of people

It can be harder than a lot of these braindead busy work jobs too.

There are a few styles of channel that bring in a lot of money with little work, but those a few in number and peter out like the fads they are. Most channels will take the same amount of time as a full time job.
