My point was not only that aspect, but also about the fact that input and output of the task is information. And while information itself can be a "product" or be provided as a service, in most cases, it's not.
But anyhow, I feel like I'm overexplaining myself over a term I said wasn't good.
And while information itself can be a "product" or be provided as a service, in most cases, it's not.
Sure, but my point is that the same is true of physical machines. People don't want working machines for the sake of working machines. They want working machines to actually do something else, to output a "product" of that machine's operation.
And viewed in that way, information services are as much a standalone "product" as maintenance/repair services. Information services account for trillions of dollars of economic activity for a reason.

Boo hoo, losers. Your device has a power switch. Influencers have a warped and inflated sense of the value they create. They can stop at any time and use their skills in other ways.
Making good content is hard, but ‘good’ content doesn’t have an expiration date. Shallow brain-rot content does and that’s what the algorithms reward.
The entitlement that influencers have is nauseating. There are many creators out there laboring in near obscurity and producing useful content all the time for little or no compensation.
They are tools for Zuck and fools for propping his platforms up. It sounds like a hard slog, but they can stop any time.
Yeah sheez. You know what you can’t pause? The flow of customers into the drive through. Internet influencers work on their own clock.
Let’s get an article about fast food worker burnout please.

‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout
Their jobs are seen as glamorous but the new reality for many is workplace stress and ‘complete fatigue’
the Guardian (www.theguardian.com)
first of all these people are basicly making others buy crap they dont really want. second: this is just an article about young workers, who work too much and cant seperate their private life from worklife. could have been an insightful newspiece if it werent for guardian and the usual forced buzzwords.

If your audience will disappear because you go away for 5 minutes you were probably not providing anything of value in the first place

Did you see the part where only half of those ingestions were intentional?
You would be freaking out about rainbow parties and snap bracelets in the 90s.
I could support a few of these

Cool, I have workplace stress and complete fatigue from sitting in an office dealing with bullshit all day and I don't get paid millions fucking around on YouTube and tiktok. You can't pause any job. Stfu

Funny. I follow some creators, but if they don't post I'll just check back later, and the content will still be relevant.
If your followers just leave you if you don't post, your content is probably shallow and doesn't really add much value to the world.
The algorithm is also fucked, but you use it to your advantage when you can, so can you really complain about the downside? This is what you choose to work with.
That being said, making good content is hard and really time consuming. So I get that there is stress.
But I believe if you make good solid content that suits you and your style, you don't need to get into a pissing contest with the algorithm. Upload when you want, make what you want and you will attract viewers. They are out there, and they will find you through searching.
Yeah most of the content I watch is still useful years later. Now it may not be super current since tech changes so fast, but still useful. If you have to stay in someone’s face all the time to stay memorable, you’re not memorable or relevant.

Won't someone think of the poor influencers!? Sorry, "creators". Just like Van Gogh and Stanley Kubrick.
If someone calls themselves an “influencer“ I immediately want to punch them in the face.

You get this a joke?
Children were never eating tide pods either.
Well maybe they weren't at first. Just like flat earthers and bird aren't real started as jokes. People started seeing and acting. My niblings had a kid in their high school
eattasted and spit out a tide pod. They ended up going home early. -
I see. If moving to another country, where you don't have to suffer such conditions, is also not an option then I hope you're looking for something else while you're at your current job. These are no conditions anyone should suffer.
