How could one help them?
Hey, thanks for asking! It largely boils down to money, people, and time. I'm currently a full-time student, and struggling to stay afloat.
Here's all the things I currently do:
I'm probably missing a few things. It's a lot! And, while I've been able to balance this out for a long time, my severe burnout has seen diminishing returns. I'm at a point where articles are getting finished days and even weeks after something has happened, which... isn't great.
All of this stuff is more or less being done for pennies an hour. It's not sustainable.
That certainly doesn't seem sustainable at all. You need to take care of yourself and I think you're making a good decision.
To be fair, it kind of bubbled up gradually over the course of several years. ๐ It did not happen all at once!
