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.
Imagine doing it for 2 years before you actually make any meaningful money, and knowing the day you take off means your income goes down. Working hard on a video only to see it flop without rhyme or reason. And then watching streamers get all kinds of donations for doing nothing but dancing for the crowd. No thanks.
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.

Work is anything you get paid for, period.
