The life of a Youtuber isn't as gloriously easy as it seems.

Considering how many hours of their time they have to put in to writing their scripts or what they want to say, doing set arrangements, getting their lighting done, and editing their videos and content -- not to mention the minute they are done making a video they are on the next one -- Youtubers easily put in a full work day. They have to constantly pump out new, high quality content in order to stay relevant. You're looking at crazy long work days for professional Youtubers. If you don't make videos, you don't get paid.

Uploading the video is the easy part. They work hard to portray a certain image to their audience and provide entertainment. They craft an illusion and a persona that they have to maintain. And let's be clear -- not everyone gets paid for posting Youtube videos. This isn't about the average Joe who randomly decided to start a youtube channel. You already have to have a large following in order for Youtube to even offer to start paying you for your videos. You don't get a following by just uploading your videos without thought or reason. You get a following by marketing yourself and knowing the demographic you want to go after. Anyone who is really serious about making a career out of vlogging needs to be smart about their choices. It's still a business, and they definitely deserve every cent.

They are working in the entertainment business. It is definitely not welfare.
