Some people are just lucky. There's nothing wrong about it. Maybe that person will be you someday. There's no point in despairing over it, the only thing you can do is stop worrying about it and keep hoping.

Yeah but does that youtuber feel the satisfaction of the grind? I think not. What about all the chores you have to do just to live in the few hours after work? Suck it 8 year old.
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.
We appreciate the candid feedback, and the passion the community has put forth around the current topics here on Lemmy, our forums and across numerous social media outlets.
Our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can.
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.
"Listen up Timmy. The revolution is here for you, now are you going to be a good little comrade or will we have to educate you on proper non-wealth hoarding behavior?"
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".
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
