Generational Accomplishments

[Dayzedandkonfuzed]

here’s the thing about that tho. If you actually want to make a living at it you’re gonna have to bust your *ss at it. Sure there’s a few outliers that get all the bucks without, but you’re going to be:

• Having to come up with ideas all the time. New ones
• Some form of planning before you shoot
• Tech know how to run the gear
• Doing “fixer” work if you need permits/permissions etc.
• Lots of time recording
• Lots of time editing
• Dealing with users, comments, and YouTube’s shitty practices
• And then doing all of this multiple times a week bc if you don’t produce it’s not going to happen

Don’t think for second the people that pull off “internet famous” do it by sitting around pointing a phone at themselves once a month. It’s a grind. I’ve got a lot of respect for those who are able to pull it off.

EDIT: and yeah a lot of them are dumbasses and dickheads, but it’s still a grind.

My 11 year old daughter is into something called tick-tock.... Not sure what it's all about, but she's constantly making videos to post and share. Let me tell you this - she has a knack for it. The stuff she's making, with a little editing, could easily be made into a music video or TV ad. And this isn't just a proud Dad talking, when she first wanted to show me a video, I was expecting something, well childish and cute. I think my jaw literally dropped when I saw what she had created. Maybe this is on par with the rest of her age group, but I think she could have a future in something like this.

So true. I thought my Grandson was an internet idiot. He watches other peoples video gaming, anime, and other various dumb things. But then he got involved with his high school radio station. Now in college he went straight to the radio staion and he is on the air! Holy Cow I heard him broadcasting at night. Color me wrong!

Shrug (<- Gen-X response). Die young, leave a beautiful corpse.
Shortened life span isn't such a bad thing. It's not like the reaper steals your 20s and 30s. Those years come off the shitty end anyway.

I was born in 1980 and work my a$$ off at work and side jobs after work I don't turn down over time or side jobs if I could I'd work 24hrs a day but I do need some sleep at some point.
Got a kid at work that was born in the 90s lazy on the phone all the time and I work circles around him all day
Always want to short cut things I said no do it right the first time it's not our money to short cut things I do it right the first time and expect you to do the same.

No kid goes to bother the crusty old SNCO who needs to unload on the new guy just because.

But being that crusty old NCO is fun. Over the years it has become a interesting to mold these kids into a working individual who can figure out how to do what is needed & be a team player.
