Let me guess, you work on a farm?

No I live in a large city

Yes, I'm sure. Have you edited a video? Have you ever edited multiple videos in one day? Have you ever recorded for five hours only to find out none of your footage is usable, when you needed to record for that long and edit for 18 more hours just for 1 day off? Have you even extensively studies weapons and data in a game to give an accurate report on their effectiveness? The kind of things YouTubers do for their job are time consuming, normally require insanely expensive hardware to be even marginally less time consuming (for example, $5000 Nvidia Quadro cards), and are normally done by a TEAM of professionals. But go ahead. Mock people for a skill you don't understand. Mock them for the time and effort. I've worked desk jobs, retail jobs, manual labor jobs, food service jobs, and social service jobs. YouTube is as hard as all of those in its own right. Hopefully this post will at least help you understand the level of work they do, because they work way harder than you do, I can almost guarantee.

Edited by Hao510Lee: 9/12/2016 3:27:28 AMAs someone who actually work in a real video producing job, recording and editing footage for a youtube channel like that is a piece of cake compared to working in a real production. The "youtube generation" are slackers. If someone actually work 70+ hours a week on their youtube channel like you said, chances are they're just really, really bad at it.
-
Not to mention often times YouTubers are doing other jobs at the same time, with YouTube being a second job.

Or they produce large amounts of content quickly. I've known people who edit professionally as well. They have access to better tools, like higher quality hardware and faster software, and often they will be working with more than one person for the project (at least the ones I know). YouTubers start with very little in terms of hardware and software, and most have to teach themselves how to edit. You were trained professionally. These people had to train themselves, but you keep belittling people for working 70 hours a week. It's not because they are bad, it's because they have limited resources, and a large workload. Get over yourself.

OMG we have a fanboy everyone. I bet you're a pewdiepie subscriber to right?
-
Nope, and I'm not a fanboy, I have personal friends who do YouTube for a living. I don't get to see them much anymore because they work 70+ hours a week. You are an idiot.
-
So you're incredibly biased is what you're saying. And destiny you tubers record themselves playing a game they like. Ya real hard
-
So just because he knows how the system works he's biased? Where's your logic mate?
-
No he has friends he's obviously defending. He is making it out to be harder than it is because he has friends doing it

Recording the game is about 10% of the time they spend. 10%. And they don't even get to chill or relax while playing the game, they have to be 100% energy and commentary has to be constant, or no one will watch. Not to mention most don't even get to play the same game constantly. The most successful channels have variety. Which is why most YouTubers don't have perfect skill, but even the destiny YouTubers spend more time editing than playing by a landslide. I won't speak towards their opinions, on that you can disagree, but you are an idiot if you think they don't work hard.
