This blog discusses how people are feeding the unworthy media creators. Hence, the topic is called "Feeding the Unworthy: A Dive into Viewer Dynamics"
In a stressful day, everyone wants a refreshment of mind. That thirst for refreshment is replenished by entertainment. In the modern era of technology, entertainment can be accessed easily. But how much of it is worth watching? How much of it is worth promoting? How much of it is worth supporting? These questions sort viewers into different dynamics.
Platforms
In this era of internet, various platforms have been established for entertainment. Some of them are free and some of them paid subscriptions. Like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, Patreon, OnlyFans etc. Not every platform is suitable for everyone. Not every platform contains quality content. The platforms which everyone should avoid are OnlyFans and all types of adult sites as these are some of unworthy platforms for people to spend time, money and mind.

Contents
There are a lot of categories among contents. All these contents can be sorted by good contents and bad contents. Every content can give entertainment, but not every content is healthy for a person. People invest times in both good and bad contents. Like songs, movies, anime, education, production, tutorial, fitness, reaction, vines, parody, vlogs etc. Each one of these categorize have good quality content and also bad content. The most unworthy content is streamers live stream. Nothing to learn, nothing productive, nothing special. Most of the contents do not create value which a person is seeking to get entertained. That's why most of the time, people keep scrolling to find contents which are worth watching.
Content Creators
Anybody can produce contents. But a great content is produced by a great mind. People with great knowledge, great thinking can provide healthy and quality entertainment. Not everyone have great ideas. In this decade, the content creators are more focused on earning money than producing quality content as the platforms these days are paying more. So everyone started pursuing the carrier of content creator. The people who started making content for money do not have any idea about what to do. So they make random videos which are not good quality. That's why majority of time people start watching these poor contents which give the creator chance to become famous for nothing. This is how unworthy content creators get into the limelight in mainstream media.

Feeding the unworthy
A sad reality is that a person who is working harder than a content creator is paid less than a content creator. As a report from ziprecruiter.com, The average salary of a construction worker in the U.S. is $4,361 a month and on the other hand, a YouTube content creator makes $10,018 a month. Now think about a boy in YouTube jumping on the bed, screaming, badmouthing people, doing awkward stuffs, dancing is getting 3 times more of the money of a vulnerable, hardworking, productive construction worker who is building the whole infrastructure of a country we can see around us. Still, people will choose to see the boy's awkward activities. Because the platforms are showing this to the viewers. The more views they get, the more money they earn. Specially, most of the content creators have more than one platform. They make a single content and publish it to different platforms. The content creator makes more money of a single content from different platforms. This is how viewers feed the unworthy.

Impact on Viewers Choice
If a person's media feed is filled with non-creative and bad quality contents, he/she has to watch them without a choice because they have to get that portion of refreshment of mind from entertainment. Now, whether he/she gets entertained or not, the person has to click on a video. Some also click on the video because of curiosity. From clicking that video for the first time to scrolling and watching the whole feed, a person's mind starts to change. The person starts to watch those type of contents more often and gets comfortable with them. The next thing we can notice is that person becomes a part of the content creators community by being a fan or being a subscriber. This is how a persons' psychology gets affected by the media platforms. This how they start feeding the unworthy content creators.
Deserving vs Degenerate
Now back to the whole great minds and lazy minds. The degenerates of social media are robing the money and fame from people. First, they become a trend or internet sensation to attract more people who don't want to get left out of a new trend. The live-streaming platforms named the payment as donations. Anything from $1 to what a person like can be donated to send a message or to chat with the streamer. So the streamer sits in front of camera and talk to chats and doing activities in front of chats to get money. In today's world, there are famine, wars, genocide going on in places where people actually need money and relief. But the majority of Gen Z prefers to donate money to the streamers more than a person in need. Most of the time, the streamers do controversial stuffs to get more attention. This is how a degenerate mind becomes successful.
A great mind has ideas, knowledge and creativity. A great mind produces contents which have values. A great mind creates content which are educational, which are life lesson, which develops someone's skill, which gives a person peace of mind. Great minds work hard and smart. They invest in time researching and figuring out solution, they invest money to give a glow to the contents. That's why their contents are of great quality. And those who produce great quality contents are the deserving. For example : Content creators like Mr. Beast (Majority charity content), Davie504 (Musical Content), Vanguard (Finance Content), Thomas Heaton (Travel Content), Michael Bisping (Sports Content), Jimmy Fallon (Live Show Host) etc. Each one of this persons give proper value to the viewers and help the viewers to grow too. Money is not a primary objective for them. All they want is to share experience to let viewers evolve and learn. This is why people should support and promote the deserving people and stop feeding the unworthy degenerates.
