Obviously it’s not all of them, but most of the solo guys doing stuff online that actually make money off of it put in a lot more effort than “act stupid and click <POST>”. Even the insufferable ones. They either have the work put in to manage the technical side of it so their stuff has production value that keeps people coming back or/also they’ve put in the time to learning the instrument to a level that people want to see more of what they’re doing. It’s not my entertainment because it’s more or less reality TV in short form, but it’s not just shitting content into the world.Anyone with a phone who wants to act stupid on the internet for 30 seconds can get thier stuff out there. In the past you had to learn an instrument, find others to practice with, get good enough to get gigs, haul gear to play, play, un haul, etc.... FAR more work than clicking post on TikTok.
