Would Youtubers be considered petit bourgeoisie since they own the means of production (a camera and an editing software) yet they still needs to sell the product of his labor to YouTube ads? (lemmygrad.ml)

The one thing I wonder about these kinds of questions is how you're planning to judge them based on the answer. It always seems very discourse-focused and semantic to have debates like this when the rules and relations that determine class are mostly well-documented.

Let's say Youtubers as a "class" of worker/creator are petit-bourgeois. Does that just mean you'll throw more snark at them? Or will it actually help Youtubers better understand their role in the system?
