producing high-quality content requires expertise in subject matter, production, storytelling and writing, the list goes on. that’s part of why there are few content creators for any given niche, if you have some combination of those traits then you are likely gainfully employed and busy. depends on the niche though, obviously skateboarding will be different than repairing cars.

I think you’re gesturing more broadly to lowercase “c” content on social apps which yes absolutely does not need to be anything particularly top tier, it’s more about creating relatable and entertaining brain rot. but that’s very different than what I was replying to above which was “making your hobby your job,” a far more serious proposition.

I actually have a bunch of opinions about this, surprise surprise!

It harkens back to "Quality is Systemic" that has been referenced many times, and inspired the piece by @danicaswanson 

@matthewb brings a good point that in order to make it as a creator you also have to be a good storyteller, producer, community promotor, etc. He's describing the current system, quite accurately.

But these are all production, distribution, and coordination problems.

I think average ppl can produce high quality output with the right system to support them.

This is why I'm here and what we do at Nearchos. Build systems to enable average people to create high quality results.
