Try Dash Hudson free! https://www.dashhudson.com/features/v... 🫶🏻 No one is talking about THIS side of being a full-time creator. Becoming a full-time content creator IS a dream job - specifically, it was my dream job from about the time I was 13 years old. However, I never anticipated what the downsides of this supposedly dream job would be. And I think it’s finally time that I share the truth about being a full-time content creator on YouTube, but also on social media in general. So today, we’re exposing the emotional damage of full-time content creation.
