@maegul@workreform these online platforms have made it extremely easy to accidentally attract a large enough following that it can get monetized. But when you remove that much friction - you get people with large audiences who have no idea what to do with them. They don't actually understand why their following is valuable and so they cannot control the value.
And a lot of them don't want to learn the difficult business aspects of their own work... so they keep outsourcing it to algorithms
