YouTube is a constant grind because the algorithms punish anyone who isn't uploading content on a regular basis. I suspect that probably has a lot to do with these meltdowns and what not, since people are forced to keep uploading content whenever possible or lose a decent chunk of their audience/their attention. There's often no time for a break if you want to succeed on the platform.

Then again, that's also a problem with a lot of Google services in general. Google search rewards those who post the most regularly too. Could be interesting to see if any bloggers or writers have similar issues with that.
