It definitely does depend on who is posting and comparing to. Like most places, professionals actually don't do so well as they rarely have the time, energy and will to put in the effort required to build, as they already have a career that pays. Celebrities do better because they have a following already.
I used to struggle with the numbers and still do at times in some areas :)
yes, that is right . they have already done it. Also, not every career is suited for making a lot of a splash on social media, otherwise everyone would be doing it.
I can only go on how much I earn as a professional and if things go very well here, this will make a lot more for the work put in - as to get the same in my job might take 20 years. However, it also might go to zero - which is why I work. At current prices, for some what I get is a lot, but I live in scandinavia and it doesn't make too much of a dent - but would be nice to use. With the effort I put in though and have done for a long time, I am not looking for a bit extra, I want world changing - and I literally mean world changing. Participation here is a pathway toward a new economic model that is better for all and me being a part of it is working toward that end. I don't want to buy a better position in the current system, I want a better position for everyone in a new system.
