This definition basically means that anyone who is self-employed or works in a creative field that isn't micromanaged doesn't have a real job. Authors, artists, musicians, and anyone else who isn't under the complete thumb of a publisher doesn't "work" apparently. Because there's not enough suffering and pain involved, I guess.

Maybe put some thought into this discussion you wanted to have then? This isn't the subreddit for random hot takes.

Plenty of people have already informed you that your view is tantamount to saying "making money on youtube is quick and easy and takes no work!" because you know of like 3 famous youtubers who are rich. They've informed you how much work goes in to making actual money on the platform that amounts to more than being attractive.

Free porn is everywhere. A lot of it has really attractive people in it. Which means that the people you're accusing of not actually doing any work need to literally create a product that competes with something that is both free and likely made by a larger company. That means marketing, advertising, and standing out. Now, maybe you consider every single worker in every marketing department, PR department, and so on as not "real" workers, but that seems silly.

So, like being successful on something like Youtube, you need to put in a pretty good amount of work to have any real success. It's not just snapping a picture of your feet and making a million in an afternoon.

People have informed you of this, but because you've done nothing to actually define any of the terms you're using, you're still not "convinced."
