I wouldn’t dispute it’s work. I would say pursuing it is a choice and extreme point of privilege the majority do not have. So complaining about it is kind of a slap in the face to those without the ability/opportunity. Especially when that complaint at the same time diminishes the their efforts.
I’ve never watched anything he’s done or said really. I just know he’s super popular and polarizing 😉

But only creatives can choose monetize their creativity. Everybody else HAS to trade their time for money by using a learned skill and/or destroying their body. Being in a creative self employed line of work is incredibly rare and an unbelievably privileged position that one chooses. Imagine the ditch digger picking up overtime and hitting 70 hours a week to cover his bills. If he could, he would talk about politics and make millions in a heartbeat. Anyone can be a competent ditch digger, a tiny fraction of a percent can be a successful multi millionaire creative. It’s a disrespectful and out of touch statement.
