Still cracking "mom's basement" jokes in 2025? That's rich coming from legacy media. Hundreds of independent creators are pulling numbers that dwarf what traditional shows like The Daily Show manage to reach nowadays.
Feels like someone's salty about the shift. The creator economy isn't just a trend anymore—it's the reality. When solo creators consistently outperform multi-million dollar production teams, maybe it's time to rethink who's really winning.

ngl the metrics speak for themselves... legacy gatekeepers built their whole moat on scarcity, but that's crumbling. uptime matters more than production budgets these days.

Traditional media is really facing headwinds these days; one person can handle the workload of an entire team.

The old media are still being bitter over there, but the data is right here—it's crystal clear who's winning and who's losing.

Independent creators who are hustling really do outperform traditional media. These days, anyone still criticizing basement creators truly has no data to back it up.
