- Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani admitted that he was quite worried about the future of YouTubers and content creators. He said this job would be dark someday.
Sri Mulyani said this at the Indonesia-Europe Investment Summit 2023, Thursday (30/11/2023).
Sri Mulyani initially said that Indonesia's demographics were relatively young, the majority of whom were educated at the elementary-middle school level and had started to enter the workforce.
In her presentation, Sri Mulyani said that the average young person in Indonesia wants to become a YouTuber and content creator nowadays because it is considered to give them instant fame and bring in money quickly.
"They want to become YouTubers, content creators, maybe according to what they see, this is enough to give them instant fame and maybe also money," said Sri Mulyani.
But he said, the future of this profession is quite worrying because this profession will not last long.
"This is a truly worrying and shocking situation. And I know that dreams, goals, like that will not last long," he continued.
He also said that not everyone can easily become a YouTuber and achieve their dreams instantly.
"I mean, it's something that really shakes up all society in the world. Not to mention that digital technology divides society based on their preferences," he explained.
For this reason, his party will try to use fiscal tools to reduce the gap in people's knowledge and skills. Apart from that, the government also wants to ensure that the economy will be based on productivity and innovation.

- Menteri Kuangan Sri Mulyani mengaku cukup khawatir soal masa depan youtuber dan konten kreator. Dia bilang pekerjaan satu ini akan gelap suatu saat nanti.
Hal tersebut dikatakan Sri Mulyani dalam acara Indonesia-Europe Investment Summit 2023, Kamis (30/11/2023).
Sri Mulyani awalnya mengatakan bahwa demografi Indonesia relatif muda yang mayoritas berpendidikan di tingkat SD-SMP dan sudah mulai memasuki angkatan kerja.
Dalam paparannya Sri Mulyani mengatakan bahwa rata-rata anak muda di Indonesia ingin menjadi Youtuber dan Konten Kreator saat ini karena dinilai memberikan ketenaran instan dan mendatangkan uang dengan cepat.
"Mereka ingin menjadi seorang YouTuber, pembuat konten, mungkin sesuai yang mereka lihat bahwa ini cukup memberikan ketenaran instan dan mungkin juga uang," kata Sri Mulyani.
Tapi kata dia, masa depan profesi satu ini cukup mengkhawatirkan karena profesi ini tidak akan bertahan lama.
"Ini benar-benar situasi yang mengkhawatirkan dan mengejutkan. Dan saya tahu bahwa mimpi, tujuan, seperti itu tidak akan bisa bertahan lama," sambungnya.
Dia pun mengatakan tak semua orang bisa dengan mudah menjadi YouTuber dan menggapai mimpinya dengan instan.
"Maksud saya, itu adalah sesuatu yang benar-benar mengguncang seluruh masyarakat di dunia. Belum lagi teknologi digital ini memecah belah masyarakat berdasarkan preferensi mereka," terangnya.
Untuk itu, pihaknya akan berupaya menggunakan alat fiskal agar bisa memperkecil kesenjangan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat. Selain itu, pemerintah juga ingin memastikan perekonomian akan didasarkan pada produktivitas dan inovasi.
