I think we're stating similar things in different ways. What I'm talking about is people that make videos for a [i]living[/i]. People that work very hard to come up with content ideas like Zero Punctuation, Load Ready Run, or streamers that have to keep up an entertaining monologue for upwards of 8 hours straight. People that are [i]able[/i] to make a living doing this work [i]have[/i] to work hard. I do think that you have an odd definition of hard work. It's harder work to think cleverly or creatively for long durations than it is to work a physically demanding job. I'm not saying that steel workers don't work hard, they certainly do, but there's often a mindless automation that comes with physically demanding jobs and that's easier than having to come up with brand new solutions every day to problems or to maintain a character/entertaining disposition for long durations. Physical exhaustion and mental exhaustion are very different. It's easy to recover from physical exhaustion, just take a nap or a shower and you're good to go. Mental exhaustion is very difficult to recover from and can take many days and can sometimes lead to depression or anxiety. And this by the way is coming from someone that works a physically demanding job. Whatever you do for work, you work hard in order to do it [i]well[/i]. If you enjoy what you're doing it doesn't mean you didn't work as hard as someone that hates their job, only that it's more enjoyable to you and often you'll have better results in your job if you enjoy it because you're more invested in it. In the end it's all about what aspects of humanity you value the most that determines what you consider to be hard work. If you value strength and endurance over intelligence and creativity you will consider physically demanding jobs to be harder work because the term, "hard work" denotes a preference or at the very least a priority of value. Take what you want from what I've said here but if I've said anything that's at all interesting to you, please do yourself a favor and study The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Don't just read it, study it because it has a lot of value still today, nearly a century after it was written.

if you're a high end steel worker you have to use your brain and body...

I think we will have to agree to disagree on streaming and making videos of videogame gameplay being hard work buddy. I just dont see it whatsoever. I will check out that book though, im an avid reader always looking for fresh content. So thanks for the recomendation :)

"These internet guys wouldn't know a real hard day if it hit em in the face." I'm sorry man, but I would never feel comfortable making an insanely generalized insult like that directed toward hundreds and hundreds of people I know nothing about.
