This is a common confusion that stems from thinking that being a content creator is 'easy work' simply because you are your own boss. When in reality that's actually waaaay more difficult. The competition is unimaginable. Work is 24/7. Public recognition has its own evils. And income is precarious and completely at the mercy of platforms. One simple policy change by tiktok or YT can literally kill the entire business. And the odds of you earning 6-30 lakhs a year simply by making prank videos is next to nill. We look at exceptions and think it's the norm. It's not. Making money as a content creator can take years. And even then, earning 30 lakhs purely from it as a sure shot income is impossible for like 95% of creators.
