The Rays: Sleeping as Content creation has challenges too
Sleeping as Content creation has a fair share of challenges too. Ray, on his part, noted that they do get harsh comments and at times insults from their fans. Some of their fans have been urging them to look for better jobs.
According to him, however, he considers sleeping has their full time jobs, because they earn from it. He challenged those who called them lazy to try sleeping the whole day since they think it is easy.
“Some people think that it’s an easy thing, but it’s quite tiring to sleep during the day. Imagine sleeping for over six hours in one position because you have to face the camera. Sometimes I have to go off camera and stretch,” Ray said.
Ray’s wife went on to add that the purpose of the videos was to spread love as they showcased their contentment with each other.
“On my side, I am trying to prove that there is still love among us and there is true love that you can share with everyone.Our content does not encourage people to be lazy but just to show the world that love should still be upheld high,” Maycee said.
However, the duo isn’t that worried as they are hopeful their earnings could increase as they have been approached by some companies for brand endorsements.
