There is, nobody can be comfortable not knowing whether they'll be able to afford rent next month.

No, but if those irregular paychecks are high enough, you may be able to create a reserve to work around it. Ti's how owning businesses and being self employed works.

Everyone thinks being youtuber/streamer is sweet until they realize they have no idea when the next ad-pocalypse or algorithm change will be and when they are getting paid next.

Sure but most jobs who would ask such a thing on the application probably aren't the high paying kind.

I have no idea. I have never seen any job ask this and there is no context given in this post. May not be job application at all.

This answer assumes a state of affairs where everyone living from paycheck to paycheck should be normalized. I think this way of thinking buries a much deeper issue which is that owners of capital continue to squeeze non-owners of capital.

Let's assume we address that problem and ask the question again.

I would say, that choosing a riskier but higher average source of compensation is a perfectly reasonable, personal choice for someone to make.
