Who doesn't want to be appreciated and rewarded? After spending hours, days, weeks and months on social media if there is one thing that should be clear is that people are not just enjoying the digital space but also making careers out of it. There was a massive surge of creators in the last two years and since then we have seen how other industries have recognised its potential.
