So what? most of us are "under pressure" to go to work every day, earn a fraction of what these people make, and sometimes we need a break and feel burned out. I don't understand why I should feel sorry for millionaires "working so much, they have more money than they can spend". Then work less..
I am inclined to agree with this.
There are plenty of people burnt out.
What's the alternative? Make things easier? Pay them more so they can take longer off? Get youtube to present older videos to people so the creators don't have too much of a revenue dip while they take a week off?
There are plenty of self employed people. It's no one else's fault if you get burnt out.
For the Youtubers who don't earn much, I completely sympathize. For those who do earn a lot... I don't really sympathize too much. A quote in the article says "I had more money than I could spend -- and I was super depressed. I had to quit everything and take a break for two years.". GOOD - they hit burnout and did what was needed -- take a break. It was only that they had "more money than I could spend" that they could afford to take a break. I don't sympathize with the ones who can afford to take time off and don't; I do sympathize with the majority who don't earn enough to take a break or slow down.
for some at the very top I don't understand just go do something else. But, part of the problem is the algorithms won't let you just slow down. There's an exponential drop in popularity.

Most YouTubers don't earn much.

Ok but then again, if it's earning millions, you probably need to hire a profi team – Letterman ran the show every day for 30 years...
