Remember the days when people posted videos just to post videos and share them and not expect to make money from them? I do. In fact, I’m old enough to remember the entire Internet operating this way. Before Google existed.
Now almost everybody goes into content creation with dollar signs as their motivation. Even people that don’t do shit but just sit and talk in front of a mic or play video games expect to get paid.
Yes, I remember that. “Content creator” was not a concept that existed. Just private people uploading funny or informative shit to the intrawebs without any form of production past maybe that WMP newspaper preset lol
The first instance that introduced me to the content creator mindset was justin.tv, the predecessor of Twitch. Not saying that was the first glimpse of that, just the first time I noticed.
