Like, don't get me wrong there are certain channels (even ones I don't care for) that do be making a lot of content that seems like it takes work, or at least a good amount of research.
But then you got people who put out like 2 videos a year of them monologuing in a costume to a camera and maybe citing 2 books, while making 6 figures (or more), and apparently pay someone to do most of the post production work, and then post about "burnout" on Twitter.
I mean like... come on bro.
I think they on some level know they contribute little of value to society relative to how much they earn, but bullshit Protestant work ethic grindset hustle culture pushes them to rationalize that away. That's why "I ran out of interesting things to say because my day-to-day life is virtually identical to some sheltered small business owner whose business is e-commerce so I don't even deal with real-life people outside of shopping at Costco to buy groceries" becomes "burnout." Plenty of people get paid 6-figures to sit on their ass all day drinking coffee and occasionally opening a spreadsheet, but they usually owe up to the bullshittiness of their jobs instead of trying to dress it up to be more than what it is.
