Yep, this exactly. They can never clock out at the end of the day. It isn’t 8 hours of work and you’re done. You’re having to constantly try to innovate. Make tons of content, spend so much time editing, constant filming, constant planning. And if you deviate in your schedule, or upload some content that isn’t interesting, the algorithm punishes you and you may even get people that unsubscribe.
Must be hell when you can’t afford to take a vacation from that content creator life. Can never really “switch off”. Plus the fact that less than 1% actually make it big, and it’s mostly based on luck plus years and years of determination.

A lot of creators will have a number of videos created ahead of time, so they can go on holiday and still have a steady release schedule.

Doesn’t help if you’re a streamer, though. I guess that was the part I left out, whoops -_-

Yeah, that’s a whole different world.

Larger streamers post reruns.

Don’t they just take working vacations?
