For me, all the EXTRA shite just wasn't worth it. The parasocial relationships, maintaining a discord, posting clips, making shorts, tweeting, editing, catering to an audiences wants, playing shite you weren't really into. Just got tiresome.

That's why a lot of the bigger channels have actual editors and social media managers, so the content creators can just focus on doing their show. I'd imagine you'd have to be highly popular and profitable to be able to afford employees though. If you're just making minor profits then yeah you have to do all that shite yourself and I question if it's even worth it at that point.
