Synopsis: LinkedIn today resembles a hive of honeybees. Writers are buzzing endlessly for nectar that no longer exists. Has AI stolen the queen, leaving only an empty hive? This is the untold reality of content writing in our times.
Buzzing Without Honey: The Harsh Truth Writers Don’t
Want to Hear
Every day, I open LinkedIn and see endless posts
such as job openings, requests for writers, desperate freelancers showcasing
their skills, and countless creators hunting for opportunities. But I see
something else too: fragility. Writers, copywriters, content creators, etc, all-in-one are buzzing like honeybees in search of nectar, but their flowers
have long withered.
LinkedIn today looks like a massive honeybee cage,
filled with restless bees circling for honey. But there is no queen, no center,
no real reward. Artificial Intelligence has stolen the queen and left us with
an empty hive. The sweetness of writing jobs has dried up, leaving only
frustration, rejection, and exhaustion.
In today’s AI-driven era, even content self-written by your thorough research is often wrongly flagged as AI-generated by
so-called detection tools like ZeroGPT and others. That is the irony. Your originality is not always recognized.
This has become the unfortunate reality for many content writers today, where
their genuine work is doubted or marked as non-original.
The Hard Reality of a Dying Profession
Let me speak plainly?. Can you, as a content writer,
truly run your family with this profession? Can you build a home, pay bills,
raise children, and give your spouse the dignity of a decent life?
In a company job, you get increments, allowances,
recognition, promotions, gratuity, and more as a guarantee of progress. But in content
writing today, what do we have? We have hope that keeps betraying us. We have
assignments that vanish overnight. We have clients who undervalue us, and
platforms that replace us with machines.
We thought our words were wings, but they became our
chains.
The Writing Bug: A Sweet Poison
I was bitten by the writing bug in my childhood. Since childhood, I loved words. I felt writing was the only path for me. “Write Right Away” or #WriteRightAway was my slogan. I thought it was not just a skill but my life. This passion held me tightly. I sacrificed stability, ignored advice, and kept running after this madness of passion.
But passion without income is poison. It eats your
youth, your relationships, and your future. Many who survive in this field have
other sources of income, viz., a supportive spouse, family wealth, or side
businesses. But if you are fully dependent on writing, I tell you with tears in
my eyes: you cannot survive.
The Humiliation of Survival
This profession, without backup, leaves you begging.
The begging is in the streets, but in
silence. It kills your pride in invisible ways. And worst of all, it keeps you
trapped in false hope, as if the next gig, the next client, the next platform
will finally give you honey. But the cage is empty.
Don’t Waste Your Youth
Yes, Writers, I repeat, you are honeybees buzzing
around a dead hive. AI has taken the queen. The cage is empty. Stop wasting
your youth. Step out, find a stable livelihood, and build a life that sustains
you. Writing can remain your passion, your hobby, your art, but don’t let it
kill your future.
It is high time to identify where your life is
heading and fix it before it’s too late. Don’t let your passion bury you the
way it buried me.
The Last Word
This is not bitterness, this is truth. I am the
victim, and my scars are real. My passion turned into my punishment.
So, I raise my voice today: Not to complain, but to warn. Stand out, go
out, and don’t let content writing destroy your youth. Secure your life first,
then write if you wish. But never make the mistake of thinking that words alone
will feed your family. Because they won’t. Take this as my testimony. Learn from
it.
Readers, even the so-called AI detection tools,
don’t dare to mark my writing as AI-generated. You can check my story and
testimony in the strongest tool, www.zerogpt.com. It clearly demonstrates that my content is 100%
human-written and 0% AI-generated.
