   $200,000/month is not worth this lifestyle.
   
   The hours are crushing. The lack of privacy puts a toll on your mental health. And if you're bending over backwards for an audience, at what point do you become a circus performer?
   
   These social media influencers need to realize that time is more valuable than money.

     @atomicpoet it’s horrific.. I read an article about someone on Twitch who felt trapped by their audience, terrified to take a day off as their metrics would drop.

     Sure if you’re lucky you can pull in some big coins but at what cost??

     I appreciate I sound very millennial of me but I think part of that comes from having lived in the pre internet era, seeing it explode, & spotting the horrors along the way 😅
