All work has it’s pro’s and con’s in my experience, but I haven’t worked in CG yet!!. I read comments like this and I am more inclined to go towards the passive income route, at least to begin with, and then maybe get requests for specific models and freelance once I’m out there.
Does everyone genuinely enjoys it or are people really just pompous on social media?
Probably a mix of both. Social media is about getting noticed and potential work, so some people will post anything relating to CG just for that reason, but a positive post will attract the right response, we hope. I think some people can handle the difficult clients better than others, probably through experience and take the rough with the smooth. You you will always find those people, in any job, that will try and take advantage of others.
So the morale of this story would be:

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, the positive and the negative, It all helps with the awareness of potential issues.
For the record, I agree with @theluthier , Iv’e seen your demo reel @dostovel , and other work you have posted on CGC, and you never fail to impress.
