YouTube Skater Dale Decker Says YouTube is The New 9-5 Due to The Saturation in The Field

It's not always smooth sailing becoming a YouTuber, so if you ever wanted to become one, it's not that easy, according to YouTube skater Dale Decker.

The YouTube sensation went on to say that content creation is like working a 9-5 job, even if you love what you are doing as it becomes work.

He quoted the old saying that when you do what you love for a living, you'll never work in a day in your life. "That's f*cking bullsh*t, he said."

The regular-footed YouTuber also said that doing what you love for a living, like what you love just becomes a job, and said it sucks the passion out of it.

As we previously reported, fellow YouTuber John Hill revealed a battle with depression due to the constant grind he had to release on his channel.

Like his friend, Decker admitted trying his hardest to upload more videos with too much work that he had to put in.

Even if you stayed positive, Decker said he enjoys skating now so much more because his rent isn't dependent on it. He doesn't need to be burnt out to be a YouTube star because he also has a job.
