Some veteran YouTube staff think Shorts might ruin YouTube
Instead of just fighting TikTok, fueling the short video trend could undermine YouTube’s existing ad business.

It's the hustle culture that's been ingrained into society at this point. Every industry has it now. Get in, make as much as possible (with little to no regard for others), get out, retire early.
After that just become an influencer showing off your lavish lifestyle for brand sponsorships for even more money.
Shit like Tiktok and Youtube Shorts are only making things worse, faster.

Arguably, this is what the American dream has become. It used to be we wanted middle class wealth, 2.1 kids, and a nice suburban house. But now all we want to do is sell out, retire, and never have to work again. I can relate, even if I lack the skills to play the game.
That's where we got antiwork, FIRE, etc. It's true: nobody wants to work anymore. I sure don't. Maybe we never did.
We arguably shouldn't have to. At least not the 60+ hours a week some people need to survive, or being forced to work multiple jobs while limited to public transit, etc. The wealth is gone and the winners are at the top of the food chain now. We're all just fighting each other for scraps on the off chance we strike gold and get to move up.
I've been screeching about the wealth gap for years and I'm pretty much done because it's only growing bigger at an exponential rate. I don't see the scales falling back into balance without bloodshed so now I just shut the hell up, smoke weed, and drink.
