Probably blaming COVID or something.

More broadly, why did all these fucking people who work alone, from home, on self-regulated schedules have such a fucking downturn from something that forced people into being alone and at home? You'd think that wouldn't affect their day-to-day basically at all.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

Indeed. But now they have an excuse for their Hiki ways.

[Le Redditeur]

That's exactly what I noticed happened with NEETs and Chicom Flu: suddenly they got validation for their uselessness, and now they simply don't want anything to go back to normal.

My daily life didn't change much except for me being able to roll from the bad to the computer in about 5 minutes to start working, and being able to prepare.my breakfast during dumb SCRUM daily meetings. But whenever the company decides to go back to normal schedule, I know I'll lose those little tidbits of comfort, but that's ok. I'll go back to sleeping one hour earlier and having to deal with traffic during the rush hour, as usual.

They got an excuse to whine more and feel sorry for themselves. It's the same enigma as the Patreon effect where an IN that was able to make two high effort videos a month while having a day job will go to one per two or three months as soon as they can live from e-welfare.

You have a captive audience like never before and less outside activity yourself. One would think that to be the perfect moment to ramp up production.
My only guess is that ad money went down.

Funny how you bring up INs going on e-welfare. There was this one IN, a Pokemon YouTuber, I watching a while ago. He was literally promoted to store manager at his normal job and he was talking about quitting when he makes enough money off his videos. Like seriously. He wanted to be an IN so.bad even though it should be a side thing.

[Kugelfisch]

Because dipshits have no idea what being self-employed entails.
They gleefully quit their job as soon as they hit 2k a month, read up a tiny bit and the moment the first tax payments are due it hits them.
Only then will they realize how those 2k aren't cash money to spend but rather turnover and how little is left of that shit.

If you can be manager and casually make a good amount on the side, why not just keep it that way?

[Dehbashi]

I need to find the video but I know it was some retard named Bard Breaker. I just looked at his subs and views and boy are they pathetic. Only 2.1k subs and his video a week ago having 1.8k views. He started a year ago by the looks of it with that video having the highest view count at 7.4k views and this fucker is thinking already of being an IN.

[Kugelfisch]

I hope he does it. He will learn a lesson be won't forget.

Pokemon challenges are old hat, and even the guys that made those popular, like mah-dry-bread, play other games.

Isn't Maxmoefoe just about the only big guy for Pogenmans shit right now?
