CREATOR ECONOMY OR ALGORITHM TRAP? PASSION VS PLATFORM CONTROL!

[alexcooney]

THIS WHOLE CREATOR ECONOMY SOUNDS GREAT UNTIL THE ALGORITHM CHANGES!! ONE DAY YOU’RE VISIBLE, NEXT DAY YOU’RE INVISIBLE. PASSION DOESN’T PAY RENT WHEN THE PLATFORM PULLS THE PLUG!!

On the positive side, the creator economy has given people opportunities that never existed before. Artists, teachers, and niche experts can now reach audiences globally. That kind of access is genuinely empowering.

From a technical standpoint, platform dependence is the core risk. Creators don’t own distribution, analytics pipelines, or monetization rails. Unless you diversify across platforms or build first-party channels, you’re essentially renting infrastructure.

I’m still not convinced this is sustainable for most people. For every success story, there are thousands grinding with no visibility. Where’s the data that shows this isn’t just survivorship bias?

I LOVE seeing people turn their passions into income!!! But yeah, relying on one platform feels scary Diversifying seems like the smart move if you want long-term freedom!!!

The downside is obvious. Burnout, unstable income, and zero safety nets. When passion becomes a product, it often stops being enjoyable and starts feeling like constant pressure.
