If you can make money as a doctor you'd have to be an idiot to try and make money as a content creator.
Unless a doctor is being paid by a government or NGO, it makes zero sense for them to spend their time making educational content on the Internet. It's actually pretty easy for doctors to donate their time actually helping people directly if they want. Lots of doctors do that already.
I actually disagree, and money shouldn't be the main motivator for sharing knowledge.
Did you just choose to ignore the rest of my comment?
The rest of your comment doesn't address or invalidate the sharing of knowledge.
I'm going to block you now, though. You're clearly too stupid to keep up.
Keep spending money ๐
I'm not sure why it would make zero sense for a doctor to spend their time making educational content on the internet. Helping people directly may be indeed more important and urgent, but contributing to a more positive impact of free educational content on health and medicine is just as reasonable, especially if they are good at that.
They would have to spend so much time building a brand and making a name for themselves they would have no time to be a real doctor. Otherwise they are making videos and just throwing them into the ether. That's why doctors lend their expertise to governments and NGOs because those already have a reputation and communication channels.
