“I once asked Arpit Bala, an influencer with a brutally loyal following, about the resentment felt by office-goers against self-employed content creators. He spoke of how, even as they like being featured in his Instagram 'lives', guests wonder why such casual conversations, the kind they used to have in their school days, are so hyped on social media. 'Exactly... You talked like this. You joked like this. You had that energy of being completely ridiculous like a child. But you won't do it now. Why? If it's that easy, do it. Quit the job and try. But you won't. Because you're in a fucking soulless job, and you've been conditioned to live a certain kind of serious life. Your risk appetite is dead. The backbencher version of you is gone. And you can't perform that self anymore. It takes guts to act your youth again in front of a camera and be completely free,' he argued.”
