This guy has never produced video before and it shows. If you want to actually make money on youtube you have to put in shitloads of effort, a "real job" is way, way easier.
You see the doofus playing video games but you don't see the hours and hours of editing and voiceover that went into it.
Edit: unless you're a pretty girl, under 30. Then visual media is easy mode because the only reason anyone cares about you is thirst. But that applies to real jobs too.
Editing really isn't that difficult. What is difficult is to do it day in and day out while building a base that may or may not eventually pay off. Luck finds you when you're working.
It's much more tedious and time consuming than difficult. 20 minutes of raw video that needs to be cut down to less than 5 can easily take an hour, a lot of it just deciding how it should be sequenced. Not even getting into voiceover which is WAY harder than it sounds if you haven't trained in the skill of reading for voiceover.
I can only imagine how much of a grind doing something like editing down 8 hours of livestream minecraft footage to get a cohesive and watchable <30 min video for 10 year olds with ADD is after the 10th time you've done it.
People have gotten so soft they believe sitting on a screen playing with a video is "work" case proven to the op.america should be producing more and working harder at shit that matters.
Successful video producers do more actual work in a week than the average office drone does, it's not a "people just give me money on the internet!!!" occupation by any stretch.
Yeah yeah they're not plumbers or shipbuilders or whatever you consider a "real job", but if they were, those real jobs wouldn't pay so much.
Wrong.. maybe if you're making trash videos but if you want quality you have to put a lot of time and effort into every cut, every frame, every thumbnail takes tons of time to make, the right transitions, the layering, the voice overs, the animations.... If it was easy than every top youtuber wouldn't be hiring people to do the job for them. There's a skill and dedication level to it.
And at that point it is one of those respectable "real jobs" because you're not just a vlogging doofus, you're pretty much managing a small production house. Very very few slick and shiny channels are just one guy.

Work is anything you get paid for, period.

I'm just hoping that more sites will be encouraged to start up that work with creators better than google.
