This reminded me of the time from 2010-2014 when everyone wanted to be a DJ. I even remember a lot of comments made by older people like: "there will be no more doctors or lawyers, now everyone wants to be a DJ", I also remember many months and mockery regarding that. 10 or 15 years have passed since then and the factory (university) of professionals still exists, it was just a stage, a wave that became fashionable and is now over. Regarding the youtuber or tiktoker dream, it is stronger because there are really people making a lot of money thanks to it, thanks to selling their privacy and sometimes selling the dream life, even my 7-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to make videos for YouTube, video of her playing, motivated by the videos of a Mexican girl who uploads videos every day promoting toys, I had to explain those things to her and she already went down the fever of being a "YouTuber". I also understand the thinking of those people who say they prefer to make content for these platforms and not have a classic job, since they would earn much more money by making videos than being a labor slave for little money, to that we must add that access to university education is becoming increasingly impossible. I was reading on X a guy who said he required the services of a blacksmith, he spent a lot of time searching until he only found a man of that profession and he ends by saying "now all the young people are delivery people and tiktokers" "when that man dies, will there be no blacksmiths in my city?" The million dollar question is, how will this be solved?
i think we could say this about OF too, a young hot girl might think , why not just do this and make a ton instead of working a regular job for peanuts.
quite scary.
as for things like blacksmiths, perhaps if they mostly vanished, the remaining ones would get paid a lot more and it would then entice people back into it.
like how now, i see these videos of like, bricklayers, getting paid 200 pounds a day when it's cold etc. crazy money.
tiktok then, ironically, showcases these other professions and people start doing tiiktok + job.
Man do i miss the simpler times of even ten years ago when none of this was an issue and not every person was trying to be a hustler or content creator.
