Hi everyone,
(I'm new! If you're interested I would be honored if you read my introduction here)
So I've been meaning to ask this for a while but never had a forum account to do so:
Many of you will probably be familiar with the "Paul brothers" (Logan Paul, Jake Paul) and other popular Youtube vloggers like Ricegum, Fouseytube, etc.
The past 2-3 years these people have started generating millions of dollars from their Youtube vlogs. Some generate even more from their merchandise, though I want to focus on the vlogging aspect.
In my opinion vlogging is just another form of entertainment (and as we know entertainment sells) but if we compare the value their line of work provides compared to the money they earn, it's way out of proportion.
I feel like vlogging has become so incredibly popular because it enables teenagers to experience a rich and crazy life without actually getting up and fighting for it themselves.
What is your guys' take on these people making millions off of vlogging and basically catering to a teenage crowd? Do you think their line of work deserves the income they have?
The reason I'm asking is because I take it there are different opinions regarding whether the work you do should add value for it to be worth the income it generates or not.
