What do y'all call people that make video essays or make funny skits but make money if ads? I thought most of us understood the game and weren't hating the players as much
Entertainers. An influencer is an evolution of the model, someone who exists to hang a branded product on and make rubes want to imitate them, not someone that provides entertainment.
Does everyone know that? Influencer seems to be used for anyone that makes money from youtube, insta, tiktok, etc.
Also, why y'all so hostile to basic questions? Does everyone here already think the same? No questions allowed? lol. Alright I'm done.
Entertainers. That is a job. I had a dance teacher who taught dance, danced professionally, did singing telegram deliveries, dressed in costume for historical tours at old places, she was just an all around entertainer, that was her job.
Influencer is different, as I understand it, that is more like the content itself is advertising. Like a social media department at a company might hire them. I guess that is also a job, but most people don't want to watch a ten or twenty minute ad.
Fair enough. Thanks for explaining. To me, it seems like influencer is used to put down anyone that makes money from yt, insta, tt, etc.
That's almost all the content/format I watch. So it's weird to think people just don't care if they get paid because they depend on ad revenue.
Do you consider twitch streamers influencers or entertainers? I don't watch many but I'd assume they're worse in your mind when some have a gaming chair they're promoting and/or they were directly sponsored by the game they're playing.
Creators? I just called them entertainers.
Video essayists. I watch them exclusively on YT and it is very important to me that they stick to their area of expertise and don't include shady sponsorships. I think the video essayist is a very small portion of youtuber that make enough money to get by. Low quality stuff is far more effective at gaming the algorithm.
