I mean do you only consume eggs or do you produce them too. Same goes with cars, furniture, clothing, music, sculptures and everything else. Make what ever you want consume whatever you want. Somethings professionals can do much better then an individual some things we can’t. You do you.

People produce because it's a hobby and because they like it. I'd say it's better to produce something instead of the mindless consuming so many do. Because when you produce you can get skills (e.g. editing), you can make money if you want to, and you can just have an creative outlet.

Can you explain a bit more about what the ‘opportunity cost of not consuming’ is?

I feel like it is bad to only consume and bad to only post things everyone can do both
