I am amazed when I watch youtube and see how much these social media personalities are earning for their posts! It really is a different world out here.

Can you say this again! I am flabbergasted! These youngins will really change the world. I have been using youtube to google 'how to do videos'. They come in and realize they can post random videos about their day and make millions. They are beyond smart.

There's various content creators out there, and some make their money on TikTok, Instagram and rest basically posting thirst traps or other soft to hard nature porn type stuff.

Young guys who are straight (so they say anyway), making a killing posting pictures and vids of.. well you know.... More thirsty the better....

In my generation, hard work always paid off.
I am satisfied with the results.

Like my father use to ask me...
Son ...you got a roof over your head? Yes Dad.
Son...you got food on the table? Yes Dad.
Son...you got clothes on your back? Yes Dad.
Son... Thank the Lord....You got nothing to complain about.

No need to be concerned for those who don't want to work................they'll eventually figure it out.

Just because you got lucky and survived your police career doesn’t mean others will too. Plenty of people work very hard and are struggling. While being lazy won’t get you far, working hard doesn’t guarantee a good life.
There áre kids making lots of money off YouTube or playing games on twitch, more money than you have ever seen. Are they lazy for figuring out an easy way to make money?

Until the government changes bail reform or lock these people away from terrorizing the area labor will go up in cost.
Exactly. Who wants to work in a store for little money and be a target?

Only a tiny fraction of people on youtube, tictok, twitter or any other social media platform are making money. Not only that you need to establish a very large following and must have some sort of talent.

It's the top slice just like pro sports. 99% of those who try to make a living from social media make nothing or close to nothing.
