I am almost 25 as of writing. I consider most of my life to be in the realm of consuming, mostly with regards to media. Since I was young my recreational time was about watching television and YouTube. The school system is mostly about absorbing information and facts, with some focus on transforming and individual spins. It may be my pessimism, but I’ve never really felt like I’ve done anything. In saying this I am equating production with fulfillment, and viewing production with positive connotations.
Like many of my age, or so I’m told, I have had fleeting thoughts on becoming a YouTuber or Twitch Streamer. A Content Creator, someone that produces content for people to consume. What’s the allure?
For me it’s probably a mix of the freedom, money, fame, and mixing passion & work.
