Thought I’d share my perspective as a “working” actor in Los Angeles. It’s definitely not glamorous and the slow reversion back to in person auditions is reminding me just what a struggle they are for the 95% of us that still need to work a part time job for steadier supplemental income. 

what do you think of folks pursuing professional acting vs doing YT or TikTok as their 'debut'?

I say there is no right or wrong way of making it. Find the path that resonates because that's the path the person will most likely continue on when times get tough. It's a very easy career path to get sidetracked on when money gets tight and everyone is naysaying. It's 100x tougher now to survive than 40 years ago.
