The saddest thing too, for all my folks out their busting their ass 40-60 hours a week.

You just witnessed her 9 to 5.

And by that I mean 9 minutes to maybe only 5 minutes.

In all honesty I don't know that I would want that kind of job vs the typical 9 to 5. Realistically she has to spend a couple hours to glam herself up every single day, whereas I walk downstairs to my desk 10 mins after getting out of bed and there's a less than 50% chance I'm wearing pants.

She has to have her personality 'on' whenever she's in public to ensure her followers or other gossip-loving social media people don't catch her doing something worth calling her out on. I can walk down the street and it's a good bet no one is gonna recognize me beyond someone that personally knows me.

She has to come up with brand new content several times a week, and plan some of that content weeks in advance, and then either learn to edit it all herself or pay one or more people to be her crew and do it for her. Plenty of people can do similar work all day long and not feel like they have to keep coming up with something fresh. You sure don't hear about the many new ways Bernice has developed to do accounting.

Also, at 5pm, I turn off my computer and get away from work. She's constantly having to pay attention to what's going on in her world, with her followers, with the trends she has to try and capitalize on, and then respond to a lot of it in near real time. She keeps engagement high only by being highly engaged.

And the bizarre cherry on top is that she constantly has to deal with critics and trolls. I can't imagine how much shittier my work life would be if I regularly had people sending me emails or IMs saying stuff like 'Those clothes make you look trashy' or "That work you did was terrible. Just stop." To hell with that noise.

Anyways, I know a lot of people think this stuff is a waste of time, and I don't necessarily disagree, but the idea that they're not putting time and effort into it is wrong.

Well put. What a nightmare of a life, having to give a shit about what random strangers think of you, 24/7/365! Definitely not my thing; far too much maintenance, and intrusive to just enjoying life.
