I don’t like those family channels that use their kids for views and money, like the toy unboxing video channels. The young kid doesn’t have a developed enough brain or enough education to make an informed decision, making it feel wrong to me. All they see is just sitting in front of a camera and playing, probably.
It’s almost like an economic system that purports itself as a fair system that rewards hard work regularly reveals itself to be arbitrary and rewards those that already have more often than not.
The system rewards value. The core piece that seems unfair is that anything digital in infinitly duplicatible.
If I make furniture, and it takes me a week to make a dresser, then I can sell one dresser a week. If I’m a programmer, and it takes me one year to make a game, I can sell infinity games a week. Same with video content.
The system rewards ownership, and owners sometimes are forced to distribute some value back to the creators of value to get that reward. Sometimes owners are forced to or benefit from sharing some ownership (like in the case of IP on YouTube).
It’s not unique to software, though the potential to infinitely copy software makes the relationship starker. For example owning a parcel of land is similar to owning a peice of IP, in that the creation/purchase potentially happens once, and rent can be extracted over time from everyone who utilizes it. The number of renters you can fit on a peice of software is theoretically infinite, but in practice limited by the number of potential customers, the availability of their attention, and your distribution Infrastructure, while the number of renters you can fit on a parcel of land is limited by its size and the structures on it.
Note that most owners did not personally create and do not personally develop what they own. Most software is not owned by programmers (who often make good money, but nowhere near the rent that is extracted from that software), and most homes are not owned by builders (who sometimes can’t afford the homes they build). It’s ownership which is primarily rewarded, and which spawns most further ownership.
Aaaand he gets to work from home. Fml

Too late.
You can’t compare yourself to others.
Live the life you have as you are, not the life of others as you will never be.
Everyone else seems to compare me to others. Not comparing myself to others seems foolish if I want to do things like have a job.
How does jealousy help you have a job?
Theoretically, it makes you push yourself to be competitive.
People that do it, usually do it because they themselves being compared to others (by their own or by others), so they don’t know another way.
If it works for you, go ahead, but if it won’t, remember you can do it your way, even though it might be different than others.
In my opinion, having a job is not something that is done because others do it, but it’s done because you want to do it. But if you don’t want to do it, change to something you’d want to do.
“Doing things” is part of the human core, so you have it in your core, regardless of others. “Job” is just getting paid for “Doing things”.
Some of them do it because it’s been bullied into them. My daughter, who used to be very independent (and still is in some ways thankfully), had to be taken out of her middle school because of the bullying and she is constantly asking if it’s weird that she does this or that and I have to keep reassuring her that it doesn’t matter if it’s weird as long as it makes her happy and even though kids will treat her like shit now, when she’s an adult, most people won’t care. The only people who will care are the ones who never grew up.
But yeah, she’s become someone who compares herself to others. Because she’s scared about what they will do to her because she’s different.
She’s actually starting to dress how she wants to dress again instead of trying to look neutral. It’s terrific.
The intent is to provide workers with a sense of pride and accomplishment for paying different bills.
As for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we’re looking at average per-worker dollar earn rates on a daily basis, and we’ll be making constant adjustments to ensure that workers have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via hard work.

I thought I recognized this comment lmao
It’s gonna be interesting to see what the most downvoted comment on Lemmy ends up being
Maybe you should post your own videos with 8 year olds?
The judge has ordered me to no longer do this.
ITT: Grown adults being jealous of an 8 year old.
I get jealous of trees…
More like envious of the 8yr old who had parents that set him up for life by making these videos that feature the kid, but all of the actual work is done by the parents.
Wish my parents did all the work and I got paid millions, instead I cut firewood for a dick that would just call me names and ruin my self esteem lol
Bro i already said y’all are jealous. You don’t need to snitch on yourself.
Go out and touch grass.I said envious because you used the wrong word. I’m not worried about anyone taking anything from me lol
Now I’ll go touch grass :P
Don’t worry, there are plenty of kids (and adults) with plenty more than that who didn’t have to go on YouTube and/or work for it.
I should have done that. Darn it!
