I don't think that content creator is actually a good way to make a living right now. Most of the platforms pay very little and they are always trying new ways to claw back even more money. At the same time the platforms are expensive to run and mostly have run at a loss and have been subsidized by effectively free money. I don't see an actually sustainable business model yet for how people can make content and get paid for it and the platform can run at a profit. Until that is solved I just don't see this working. I expect Twitch to close down, Twitter is going to fail, reddit looks like it will fail, tiktok is heavily subsidized. I don't know if youtube actually runs at a profit or not, the information is unclear on that.
