Well said. If we're honest, they like it because most of them are earning more than they'd get via a job with a contract. But that also means they could have saved most of their income and hence have enough money to fund them while they look for alternative work.I'm always suprised at the amount of people who chose an insecure gig then proceed to put all their eggs in one basket then bemoan when something affects it.
Just like the youtube "adpocalypse" people are complaining and equating it to a permie job and saying it's the same as an employer cutting your pay overnight. If you want a regular guaranted income you need to get a job with a contract.
It's all this wanting their cake and eating it too I can't get onboard with. I say this as a freelancer myself.
I wonder if only fans type stuff has had its peak? Apparently most of the money is made by a few famous / infamous people at the top and the rest don't make much. Maybe with so much competition now those at the top now won't be able to get those to transfer to a new platform?
I see lots of influencers who seem to earn a lot, but also spend a lot. I'd be saving everything I could. But I suppose they feel they have to have all the flashy material possessions to fit in.
