The social media revolution has simply transformed the content creator around the world with content monetization. The case is not limited with #hive blockchain, but we have seen many instances where a person earns handsomely by sharing their content on social media platform like of #youtube #Instagram #Facebook etc. There are many examples or have seen how few individuals have grown in their financial stature through content monetization. There is a truck driver in India, who used to make his daily activity #vlogs and share it on #youtube now he earns much more than a qualified educated individuals. There is many such example of individuals climbing the stairs of success and becomes zero to hero in no time. The truck driver now own his lavish home and owned luxuries vehicles. Who could have thought of such a glamorous lifestyle for a driver. Content monetization is viewed as a way to generate revenue, prove value, and incentivize innovation. In many cases, the income is directly tied to how well your content performs. This includes factors like views, watch time, engagement rates, and the number of clicks. Many platforms, like Facebook, have built in programs that allow us to monetize content like videos, photos, and text posts. Earnings are often based on content performance and audience engagement metrics. Some creators choose to host their content on their own platforms, where they can implement their own payment models, like a website with a subscription paywall.

Game of visibility

The idea that content monetization makes people "lazy" is a complex issue, but available research suggests it is more accurate to view content creation as a demanding form of entrepreneurship rather than an easy alternative that encourages laziness. Creators face continuous pressure to produce high-quality, engaging content consistently to stay relevant and visible in a crowded market. While some creators achieve high-earning, six-figure careers, most struggle with unstable income and often end up working for free or significantly undervaluing their labor. In my opinion, content monetization has not necessarily made people lazier, but it has redirected ambition towards different types of work and entrepreneurship, highlighting the evolving nature of the modern labor force.

Be the creator of your own destiny

Yes, content is worth being paid for when it offers tangible value such as high quality, convenience, exclusivity, or expertise that solves a specific problem for the consumer. As I am writing this, afterwards person sitting beside me in a tea stall is searching on YouTube about fixing a damaged phone. He learnt that method and mange to solve his problem. Such content are definitely worth to be paid for. However there is other side, where creator misuses their audience base and extract money without quality content. There is a creator on #youtube and #Instagram who calls him as a body builder. But his video mostly contains showing his lavish lifestyle. He is kind of showoff that just spoil many kids. A follower always try to imitate his idol and in process may end up harming themselves in one or the other. This is where brain work in favor of your look. In the nutshell the value of content is relative to the consumer's needs and their willingness to pay for quality, convenience, and reliable information.

Content monetization has give a fresh lease of life to many individuals. But a quality content is much meaningful than going beyond the self limits. Individuals who were carrying out extreme content should not be swayed away with the monetization factors. They should understand that a meaningful content is much better than nonsense act. So be mindful and create your own content world.

In good faith - Peace!!
