holy backreading
If you are providing a service you have a job. The service can be entertainment or providing assistance.
I would like to think that u have a job as long as u are earning money, in that sense scammers and illegal drug dealers are pretty much "jobs" to me
I think no one gonna argue about streaming being a real job, but what ticks a lot of people is the way it sounds like they are complaining/comparing about their job which coming from Hasan who came from money (his family was rich Af) and are in the top of streaming industry will end up sounding very whiny.
Yeah, the charitable reading streamers are taking from what Hasan said is very defensible. The problem is that what Hasan actually said is ridiculous.
Agreed. I thought people's issues with Hasan's statements were clearly stated (as you wrote it) from the very start. I don't see why certain CCs don't understand.
@milmil5350 CCs are just creating more dumbass content on a nothing burger as usual because everyone eats it up. I swear like 90% of commentary channels are talking about such an arbitrary topic because the internet can make even the air we breathe into a big deal. This has got to be one of the most ridiculously talked about shit from CCs all around and all it takes is some well known person to say the dumbest thing he can think of.
@@milmil5350 CC's look at it from their prespective not fron Hasan to his fans, his statements are true streaming is hard until you get to the top 1% but if you are born to the top 1% already how can people relate to you thats what other CCs gloss over since they had to work hard to get there so they relate to the statement
So essentially because he's very rich and he said 1+1=2, he must be wrong
I need an even bigger context than the 2 minutes video to see if he's legit complaining or explaining something. Everything in that 2 minutes video is reasonable
Content creation requires skill, talent and determination. It can be lucrative but not everyone can do it successfully, so it definitely can be considered a real job just like being a musician, actor or stand up comedian. That being said, in no world is it as soul crushing as working in most customer service jobs or for an exploitative employer.
It really depends, the internet is big if you end up in the wrong content sphere you could get soul crushed to the point of making an attempt on your life ( such as the incident with Dokibird good thing that one ended well ) but it can also go full sunshine and rainbows if you get lucky with finding a good community from the start
@@MIDO44444
Environment technically does not define the job. The difference is u have the choice to change ur environment while keeping the same job.
Streamers are what I call passion job, using an analogy : not everybody likes playing football but u don't become footballers without liking it at least in the beginning.
U can like ur job as a waiter but it is not a dream job
@@MIDO44444this is definitely true, but I think Hasan also actively puts himself in the soul crushing spheres. And it’s not just because he covers politics, he has some of the most brain dead takes too. Like Pokke said, the statement coming from Hasan is ridiculous.
Hopefully more people react to your take, NEUTRALLY SPEAKING I think you have the best take of anyone so far.
I tried to do content creation one time, and from my experience the hardest thing is actually thinking about a good ideia for a video, editing u can learn after like marathon of 1 week watching tutorials, but having consistent long term video ideias is very hard, after 1 year i gave up
hmm but arent hasan known for his blank stream? ah i saw clips of him just get out of stream and said in podcast that streaming nothing make viewers boring like that
As a full-time corpa and content creator like Chad Pokke, making any sort of income from content means you treat it as a job with valid amounts of work and skills. I've nearly learned just as much marketing, branding, and business skills as many of my friends who did a business major in university and often use that knowledge more than they do.
Content creation is basically entrepreneurship; there is a good amount of stress and risk.
Asmon showing Hasan's statement in context definitely makes sense for social drain and mental drain. It's a specific comparison. Those arguing the "take" are mostly not arguing the actual take in context.
Thanks for sharing your Pokke Wisdom on this. The CN analysis on "making it" is very relatable. Both Corpa and content.
All jobs will suck the soul out of you. But you have to do those soul - sucking jobs in order to have soul fulfilling things in life. Just how the world works 🤷♂
dang Pokke the true villain in HSR he planting the seed of the imaginary tree xD
Love this perspective from Pokke! Would enjoy if you made content like this from time to time. Your perspective completely makes sense that you got to work for what you want yourself! If you work corpo you get that stability but it's not your own work while CCs are risky positions with high limits. Lottery example was great too. Hoping for the best in your switch to full time creator❤
Great takes man as you experienced both having a “normal”/corporate job and also the streaming side and as with all things weighinh in both the pros and cons ofnit
I would disagreed upon stability for corporation job as well. You could be a very decent employee/manager/CEO/ect and you could still lose your job if the company decide that they need to cut you for certain reason (definately not happened to me *skull*)
I'm absolutely agree that both jobs have their pros and cons, however if I had a shot at CC; therefore I would definately take that shot instead of a corporation job. The reason being (19:04)
Genuinely and respectfully, a nice watch. The elaboration is great when spoken in a chill demeanor.
truly one of the dramas of all time
I really don't get what people are mad about regarding the Hasan thing, streaming is definitely a job and interacting with tousands of people for 10 hours a day is not easy work either. In no part of the clip does he gloat so I don't really see the need for uproar.
Respectfully genuinely I think that content creation can only be a real job if you make decent money from it for a living.
loving the real talk type vids MORE PLEASE
good video really liked you aspect in this topic
Streaming is not as difficult as many jobs are. That's a fact. But that doesn't mean that streaming is "easy" or that it's something just anyone can succeed in. CCs should accept both facts.
NUCLEAR DRAMA
As a nobody viewer, my 2 cents is that anything where you make money can be considered a job, an occupation as it were.
Being an entertainer is a valid occupation. But I think in the entertainment industry, like being a CC, an actor, musician, there is that somewhat glossed over idea that it's basically the lottery on if you "make it".
For every famous actor or comedian, there are thousands of others who have not made that cut. For every famous music artist we listen to every day on the radio or spotify, how many more are trying to break into the industry to get that one song that propels them from obscurity? |
I personally think there is an overwhelming amount of survivorship bias in the entertainment industry, especially for something as "easy" as being a streamer or a vtuber, or a content creator.
Alright then tell me what is hasan or asmon or tectone doing on streams that is so much harder than retail and so hard to keep on milking it for years? Thats what i thought, nothing except having to open ur mouth
@@morbus__ bro his point is literally the difference between those guys and someone else is that they just happened to get popular at the right time. anybody can yap but those guys are just the popular yappers. thats why they rake in sponsership money and dude with 10 viewers on twitch doesn't
@@petermcintyre6465 Another point to support you bro is that you would need to be charismatic or entertaining at the least to begin with. The idea of "luck" or right timing is just the opportunity for promotion in comparison to a normal job.
@@morbus__ Tectone made it clear he is in the top 1% that have their life easy now ( it wasnt when they were climbing to it tho ) while the others who are yet to make streaming liveable aka the majority of streamers have it rough
@@morbus__ In the full 2 minutes context video, while Hassan did mention Retail and CS jobs, he mentioned them as examples of jobs with a certain characteristic being "socially draining", and how this one characteristic is similar to his job. He was not comparing other aspects, and neither was he comparing how much harder or easier the jobs are.
Is content creation a real job? Yes.
Do you know why? When you work a normal 9-5, you get stress and shit and overtime you age up and become old and bald.
Same with streaming. You get stressed out trying to make content, and eventually either give up entirely or continue till you look like a old bald man
Love u pokke ❤❤❤❤
Unawareness is wild
I would say if u cab retire in your early 30s then content creation is safe also don't have to worry about getting fired when doing this job
Damn Pokke massive respect for you making into content reacting even outside of gacha. Deserved, genuinely🗿
I will just say sure the barrier to becoming successful streamer is extreme but when you are there it is much simpler and easier than retail which is what hasan said and by miles away easier, people who disagree have no experience on this whatsoever and I have no idea why I was surprised to see Asmon disagree and Tectone defend him...
I thought content creation is something you do for fun, and passion to share something you love, It was never been a job. Welp this is new, tho I do agree with your take Pokke.
STREAMING IS SO HARDDDDDAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Imma try to provide my own 3rd world country POV on this.
Competition wise it is just as stark, but the amount of income u need to survive is much lower too. So you are "kinda" okay with probably
I really don't understand why people disregard "the social fatigue point", and just say he is saying "streaming is more difficult in all ways".
All jobs spend your social energy as well, albeit some do require more. But the dumb takes people hate is comparing his misery is more than other poeple while sitting at the top. That's what pisses people off. Hasan probably won't get backlash if he didn't compare streaming to other jobs.
@@steffan5156 he never said it was miserable. He compared streaming to his old job in sales and said it drained more of his social battery. It's subjective. What is there to be angry about?
@@passerby2562 You gotta look at the context as in what is his position currently. Mentally means He can definitely take a break or stop streaming if he's tired and he can afford it. Most job can't do that. And he still complains to the internet and trying to be relatable while not knowing his own privilege. It's the internet, people will point you out for your bad takes especially if you are big influencer. If this was by a small streamer, it'll probably not even be this blown out. Now I know he got a lot of haters, but tbf He really do be out of touch even to someone who doesn't know him before.
Maybe you're reading too much into it. He seemed to say what came to his mind. It happens when you're streaming for hours. The way I see it. Chat was curious about streaming, he provided insight. I guess it comes across as privileged, but I wonder about his intentions.
There are streamers who sleep on stream and during that they earn more than most people.
Enjoyed your opinion on this topic and the way you described it was one I hadn't seen. Streamers are essentially running their own businesses, so IMHO it's not even a job never mind a real job.
I'm so glad pokke made a video on this, because this man is the literal definition of 2 coins of the same side, he does a "real job" during the day, and streams at the night, no one probably has a better perspective on this then this dude, who is successful in both aspects.
What a real job is extremely subjective relevant to the material conditions and society of where this question is concerned. However there are always core jobs that are real enough because it determines our future as a species. Currently humans are the only species that can afford to prioritize individualistic tendencies and the subjective over collective and objective ones. Although at the current humanity course of normalizing every individualistic tendencies we definitely will not make it far as a species since the objective truth of every living being is existence and humanity as a whole have accepted ideas and practices that are detrimental to the objective truth of it.
This is gonna be a good one

THIS IS GONNA GET VIEWS
PEOPLE NEED REAL TALK NGL
people be throwing the dicks at each others face at how much they struggle during there jobs. The concept of the "rich privilege" is what separates us as "rich" and "poor" we define someones value by how hard they worked for there success, and its all absolute garbage, because everyone is always assuming the successful person has some kind of privilege, when they have NO IDEA what that person did, and what that person went through, always assuming the top 1% is "priviliage". in my opinion, people that think that, are broke, and too lazy to take responsibility and own up to the fact they don't want to work hard for there success, and that they want the same lifestyle with the least amount of work put in.
As a villager, I genuinely respect your decision.
Ya absolutely cuz yer providing something for us consumers unlike reaction channels
As Asmon loves to put it : Competing for a job is to fight against thousands to ten thousands of resume in a company, competing for a spot in the streaming space is to fight against billions of wanna be content creators of all ages and skills that's not even something YOU have.
This is of course not accounting for any other things you need to even start as a content creator.
yo ily pokke just don't get too wrapped up bro these haters go crazy
Is reacting real content creation? Are 0-cycles with Kafka/Black Swan real 0-cycles? Are pull ups without carrying your dakimakura real pull ups?
Are you really a HSR fan if you aren't a Pokke Villager?
pokke, you are answering a question that literally no one asked lol
Content creator is a real job but making it is not all luck
If what u do earn u money then it's a job. It's only wether u earn big or earn small. Case close
Holy hassan tangent lil bro doesn't know the real "struggle"💀💀
Hasan : STREAMING IS SO HARDAHHHHHH!!
Also majority of Hasan "Straming" content :
"React" to other actual content creators videos, play said video as he go and make his chicken nuggies for extended periods of time
IT IS A MODERN JOB. If you stuck with a mindset that content creation is not a "real" job, well you're not adapting nowadays bro
Yes Job ez clap. Good Work Mr Pokke
bro , make another channel for these sorts of contents and commentaries ....
What is a 9-6?
tldr of the video : Plant the seeds, mint pick later.
its not a job when you are earning well from it and have time for other stuff.
its not a job when your not earning from it
its a job if its your only income
its a job when your not enjoying it but have to do it anyway
job is when you can't have a life, got it.
What Hasan said would make more sense if it came from someone who poors their heart into content creation. All Hasan does is political debates and react content. If he finds that more exhausting than working in sales, then he should quit streaming and go work for Walmart, Canadian Tire, Costco etc.
It is a real job otherwise how would the big youtubers who blow up would have the money they did now, so this is a job you get paid to do youtube depending on how your channel is
Engage to supporr variety content
The comparison that Hasan is making to a real job is ridiculous. Let's see Hasan put his money where his mouth is and go work a physical labor intensive job if he think his job is comparable. He is taking his streaming position for granted, he is VERY PRIVILEGED to be making 7 figures streaming and people don't want to hear it. Most of us won't be making that much money in their lifetime.
😂a real job doesn’t suck the soul out of you? Lmao. I definitely won’t say content creating doesn’t do the same but bro have no idea what what a ‘regular job’ can do to you
bruh he LITERALLY got to where he is due to nepotism, he LITERALLY IS Chank nephew from The Young Turks
look at his early actual content creation which are college bro shit vids which has basically no views, and miraculously when chenk pull him in to TYT and Destiny give him a shout out he gain a following, but Content Creation is hard Bwahhhhh 😫😫
he is nothing but a privilege college bro, son of a fortune 500 company who got to where he is thanks to his uncle getting in on the grift, whose content consist of not reacting to other actual content creator works and even regularly leave the video running while he go and do other things or complain about politics that he knows nothing about or big corporation which he has direct ties to and is benefiting from it
TOOBASED
sweetily content better
Most of us agree streaming is a real job. But we gonna shit on hasan for complaining when he's a born millionaire and he acts like his life is so tough
No, it's not a real job.
That's why you see irl professional turning back to just making videos on social medias, since it's easier and more profitable 😂
the real reason it's "soul sucking" to Hasan is because he doesn't actually believe any of the shit he pedals (he probably believes some of it, but he's flat out admitted he's a "propagandist" so take everything he says as him lying through his own teeth)
as for the whole streaming isn't a "real job"
a term you used in this video that is often over looked is "white color" and then there is "blue color" jobs and there is a massive distinction between the two. Streamers are more white color then anything, it is not a physically demanding job. and as Someone who's worked almost exclusively white color jobs, there is a huge difference, and I would NEVER have the adacity to claim any job I've worked is as difficult or taxing as true hard labor jobs are.
people like me and honestly anyone who's a streamer doesn't have the right to say they're "working class" or "a laborer" I have family members (uncles and cousins and the like) who have worked themselves to the bone, doing irreparable damage to their own bodies (back/knee/shoulders/etc) to provide for their kids to have a better life.
Typical Hasan L + Ratio
Content creation isn't a job
Bro is yapping for a job and complain about it 😂😂😂
You don't get to have a relevant opinion, and neither does Asmonbald, buddy. You're biased af.
Streaming is def a real job, It takes the same amount of mental energy. Just because someone is just playing games talking to chat doesn't mean it less stressful.
Streaming is a very stressful job. But when comparing it to the demands and climate of other jobs, it is definitely not as stressful as most. Doesn't mean streaming is easy.
