Another example could be if you are a tutor and your students interact with you totally online. Or maybe you are a professional video game speedrunner

Do you have a fully digital or online job? Do you want one?

No. It could be done digitally but thats not something my bosses would ever go for.

Id like a WFH job though yeah. And full digital is typically a req for that.

People seem to have such a misconception of how fun it would be to have a all digital job (Streamer, Youtuber, etc.). It seems they have to CONSTANTLY be working? I don't know,..just seems like it would be stressful having to constantly come up with ideas or stream the same game over and over for like 8-12 hours a day?

For a streamer this is true, but a youtuber just needs to have a bunch of ideas and you could film them all on the same day if you wanted to - even if you released the actual videos weeks or months apart

My new work is fully WFH, I'm getting a home office setup going later this week.

The hours are also tracked meticulously, including potential overtime after a year, so I'm not worried about work-life balance being thrown out of wack.

Tbf, I dont even stream for work, and some days, I stream for like 6-12 hours depends on how much time I have. And its usually the same game until I beat it Though, like Damn_Underscore said, as a youtuber, you could record a ton of videos at once, and release then little by little. Though thats limits community communication or whatever

Nope. I'm not sure I'd want one too. While it seems a easy way to make money on paper I know the market is over-saturated. Still I might dabble in it one day just as a side project.

Pretty much. Its why smaller subs numbers are still good since its hard to get anyone when you have so much competition compared to back in the day. And why huge sun numbers are really good (especially if youre newer) And thats also why many started Patreons, since thats a better way to make money

I wish I had a WFH job... I'm tired of going in everyday at 6:30am-5:00pm, driving about 33mins to get there working in Quality Assurance on my feet literally all day! WFH is a privilege that shouldn't be taken lightly... The fact that you're not burning gas alone is reason to feel blessed over it! You actually don't mind driving a lot on the weekends putting miles on your car.

Yeah WFH is awesome I love it. Offices are so horrible for productivity. All they really do is make you fake productivity more because someone is watching you more closely.

Lots of different reasons. I just watch through Both a Resident Evil 7 & Alien: Isolation with no commentary just because I wanted to watch a full play through with no extra bits. Some also use it when trying to figure out how to do something. Or if you want to see the story, or dont feel like playing the game. Or just seeing how others play it. Or for whatever other reason

Even when I was playing Spider-man for like 10 hours one day, there were a couple people just hanging out watching...

Probably depends on the office. I straight up have YouTube playing on my work computer, and my switch set up right next to it. And my Kindle next to that Haha.

I'm not sure that's true of all of them but, honestly, a lot of people enjoy that stuff, so... not a big deal?

Personally, I used to think I'd never want something like that because of the nature of it, but I'm less opposed to the idea. My problem with it these days is just the career trajectory because it doesn't necessarily build to anything and you could be left with no opportunities at the end.
