			Oh, it is easy. It's why more of this generation feel its a good career path to attempt.
The problem is "dropping" on something that get success. Which is few and far between in the whole scheme.
And off pace? Clearly. Especially when I see people making millions based on content they don't create (react videos, gaming videos, etc).
There is originality out there. Never had a bug bare with that.
I have an annoyance when some feller makes millions playing a video game some other guy developed who won't get anywhere those figures money wise, or the brat whos never had a job and makes millions chatting about shoes who can't turn the autofocus off their camera.
And better than TV? Depends on your attention span and the appreciation of talent.
		
		
	 
Okay having read through this properly now i'm back from work, some of your comments are fair but for the newer generation of media, very misplaced, in my opinion.
People may make millions yes, but reacting / let's plays etc is very very valid new age content, which millions of people watch and get enjoyment from, the younger generation prefer this to TV, hence where there are far less people watching tv now, than internet based content, youtube is one of the biggest media outlets in the world, and it's for a reason.
Also, you can't say they don't create, that is extremely narrow minded view, sure they may borrow a concept from something else and make it their own but so does everything else.
I'll give you a company called Rooster Teeth as an example. They have been on the internet for 13-14 years making their own content with a show called red vs blue, and with the success of that (and continued success of it) they have been able to make even further of their own content, such as their own anime show, a film that has just been successfully released, and even various video games, All started from a bedroom studio, into a massive media company with over 300 employees, that doesn't come easy it comes with hard work and graft to get up to skill at something.
Sure there are some idiot kids on youtube, who have been successful, they still work hard at their trade.. to make it successful, you can't just get a camera and start filming and boom become a sensation, it doesn't work like that it takes time, money and graft. You will get people who 'act' up to a audience, sure, but in the same way you get other people in media who do things to get noticed so it's no different.
end of rant really, hopefully it helps clear up a few things.
	
		
	
	
		
		
			You're having a shocker here mate. Them Youtube clowns that record their fake reactions to different games/events don't deserve a penny.
		
		
	 
Ridiculous comment. Sure some of them may fake it, but they don't deserve a penny even though they've hit their target audience perfectly, and beat millions of other people who are all trying to get somewhere on that is very competitive, and make money from it.
You wouldn't say a comedian or a actor doesn't deserve to be paid.
