I think “easily” is a stretch simply because there’s a lot of work that goes into making a video that isn’t completely shite.

I’ve not done it, but creators who put out well thought out and edited and polished videos will tell you it takes 40+ hours a week to produce 5-7 videos.


The other thing about all these socials is that it seems you are punished severely if you don’t upload at minimum several times a week.


Also probably stressful as frick chasing the algorithm when you could be doing really well and pulling good numbers and then the algorithm unexpectedly and unexplainably rips your face off and your videos suddenly get like a 10th of the views you expected and you have to figure out how to “fix” your problem asap.
