Very few people who stream work harder than people working a 9-5. Its not about the hours you put in, it's about the physical toll it takes on you. Someone working 40 hours a week in retail works harder than a streamer playing and editing videos for 55 hours a week.
While I didn't have a tonne of jobs before content creation, I can easily say that my retail job and IT job were extremely easy compared to content creation. There's so many factors for everything that it's impossible to give an all encompassing answer.
@@VarsityGaming Maybe your retail job and IT job were easy cause you didn't have many responsibilities back then. i mean playing videogames all day and slapping clips together with minimal cuts/effects don't sound hard (Even compared to other content creators)
Coming from a guy who worked a local job since 14, I’d say normal work would be harder than streaming. I do lawnmowing and made 8k over my time, not counting all the money I spent, and it’s way harder considering heat, manual effort, expenses, it’s harder. And I don’t even try to take days off, I can count that I took around 1 week and 3 days off. I wish I could be a streamer, life would be so much better
5:44 I think being a full time creator is no more easy or difficult than a regular job of similar time commitments and overall workload. I work in IT full time, and it also ebbs and flows from week to week. Food service and retail, restoration services, wealth management, realtors, etc., also put in a lot of time throughout the week, oftentimes beyond normal hours. I think people need to start categorizing content creation like they do “9-5” jobs, because in the end, everyone is in the same race, just different tracks.
Yeah, it really boils down to what exactly that person is doing. I work a retail job, and I would say Varseity probably has a harder job than me, but compared to someone who who works in building houses or other physically demanding jobs, I would say they have the harder job. I also feel like anyone who says their retail job is harder than the mental strain of streaming and hours of editing for a chance of good video, are likely just the same people who would fail doing what he does.
Blue is math, green science, red is french, english I don't bother getting one, yellow is ugly (what is social studies btw?), purple is for arts, would never mix with gym ew, black is geography/history, white is the one I forgot to use
I work 12 hrs a day 6 days a week and I work in a prison. People get stabbed, beat up, commit suicide, throw literal shit and piss at us, they hate us, and argue with us almost every hour we are there. There is no way in ANY world that making videos, playing video games, and complaining about how hard it is, is ANYWHERE near as hard as a real life job
Humans arent the only animals to sweat. Horses also sweat but because of their fur its not as effective. BUT they also better at keeping warm so win some lose some
14:22 also, have you noticed that on most maps, even the larger ones, there’s only 1 bathroom for the entire building? Consulate. Clubhouse. Kanal. Villa. Border. Pretty sure it’s all of them… I’m struggling to think of any with more than 1.

Not one streamer would last 50 hours of hard labor a week stop it. Not talking about working retail, like construction or any trade work would literally have most people broken in fetal position after a week.
This is the issue with the broad argument. Not many people would be able to be "on" for 40+ hours a week and do enough stuff to make content creation interesting enough that you'd make a living off of it. It's different skill sets and truly impossible to compare overall. All I can say is that content creation is harder than the jobs I had before.
@@VarsityGaming i agree it's hard to compare and content creation isn't easy, but I use my brains and body all day long you have the luxury to use 95% mind and almost no physical
@VarsityGaming i agree that it is very hard to compare and that content creation isn't easy whatsoever. But you have the luxury to use 95% mental and play video games. I have to use and abuse myself physically and mentally all day long with a 30 minute lunch break, now don't get it twisted I get paid very well but I would take the work load of a streamer over a carpenter or plumber any day of the week.
People also need to understand that being a content creator now, you need to put way more time and effort in order to get even the slightest chance of a payout. Even then you won't get profit for a long time. Look at how long Varsity has been doing content and even now he's NOT the most well known or popular R6 creator. Most people won't understand how hard it is until they do it and see all the expenses and effort it takes to edit, photoshop, pay attention to trends, come up with ideas and record videos alongside paying for the video games. It also isn't a competition on how hard a job is, we all know it isn't the hardest job but it definitely is hard to get to where he is AND still be successful.
I think people drastically under estimate the emotional toll of content creation. And also arent listening to the whole statement. You said it was harder than retail or your IT job you didnt say content creation is the hardest job of all time. All these people coming out of the walls like you wouldnt be able to handle 50+ hours of construction its like where did he claim its the hardest job ever of all time...
@@jeffreygarcia2783 it isn't physically difficult. But being in front of people for 8 hours a day would be mentally and emotionally exhausting. And you have to keep doing things to keep people entertained it isn't just sitting silently playing video games.
Yesterday I was watching some of my friends play Siege while I was banned for the day. When they checked siege tracker 3 of the enemy team had insane kds. One with a 15, one with a 37 and one with I kid you not a 338 kd. And through out the game it was the most blatant walls I have ever seen.

hold on bro you might actually be cooking uve been improving way too much since that 1v1 tourney maybe defeating skittlz was the glowup uwere waiting for
lmao i work 70 hrs a week. monday - saturday. Even on my day off (Sunday) i would be on standby because i would get phone calls (sometimes go to work) in case of breakdown or emergencies. This is just working hours. Not considering Ad hoc jobs, KPIs, pressure from upper management, and responsibilities for my staff wellbeing. So yeah No. your streaming career is definitely not hard.

Thatd be tougher not harder.

Hi varsity, I love ur videos. Keep up the amazing work bro
5:45 keep going varsity you been doing this for years and you one of a kind you go always be one of them guys when it comes to R6 💯🔥

@Mavvryck that's all coping brother just face facts

Can you give some advice on how you stay so calm even in the most dire of situations? I'm personally an anxious person, so i get nervous sometimes..
Totally depends on the streamer or what the 9-5 job is
why is botting not a permanent ban thats so dumb
saying streaming is harder than a 9-5 is hilarious
I played 8 ranked matches and there were 5 cheaters(that got banned) in those games…
I had 2 cheaters almost in a row after a week, 3 in total this season (all were inside standard), also all were banned within a couple of days
bro you don’t pay people to do your thumbnails and shit?
Nope, absolutely everything you see on the channel is made by me.
@ that’s actually crazy seems like most streamers your size start having workers for better or worse

5:20 get you a 17y/o discord kid with no responsibilities to edit your stuff and pay him by giving him mod and duty
Is this game going to survive the take over of ubi when it happens. Anyone know
Lucky, I already faced 3 confirmed
All the cheaters are in quick match. One out of nine or ten matches I face a legitimate cheater.
I find it bullshit that I can't play ranked because I wanted to change my phone number meanwhile cheaters can easily buy an account already verified
12:17 bro u legit can not outrun a horse or make it tired before u do. AND HORSES SWEAT TOO
Out of 10 games in champ elo 7 are guaranteed wallers on both my team and the enemy
hold on bro you might actually be cooking
uve been improving way too much since that 1v1 tourney
maybe defeating skittlz was the glowup uwere waiting for
I've already removed this game from my PC and library due to the sheer amount of blatant wallers in games this season, its basically every other game
No. It's not. You're just trash
Ran into a cheater he was on my team and i dont even know which match
I'd never cheat on you 🥺

dude, the question is about a normal 9-5, you're job is clearly not normal if you're working 70 hours
There are too many cheaters in the game. They turned me off from the game a lot.
gooby
Day 129 of asking you to oil yourself up
If you were streaming documentary and informative content, then yes, you could say that’s difficult but playing video games come on VG🤦🏽♂️
Maybe if varsity was cheating he would have hit the default cam with the gonne-6 on chalet
Chalet Default
First... cheater
Almost as crazy as the time varsity missed the chalet default cam with the gonne-6
I've already got a thank you for your report this season tf you mean 1st
Got more than 6 seconds in not editing so someone with an ego comes to tell me off
first?
