Ghanaian comedian Abdul Waris, known as Comedian Warris, has criticized the lack of appreciation and financial support for content creators in Ghana. He noted that while creators may go viral, they still struggle to make a living in Ghana compared to Nigeria. Waris mentioned that in Nigeria, a few viral videos can transform a creator's life within a few months, with them buying cars and celebrating.

However, in Ghana, viral videos often leave creators broke. He lamented that even successful creators receive little motivation or support, with big people being happy with their videos but not offering any financial encouragement. Waris acknowledged some public figures who support emerging talents, but stressed that such assistance is rare.

He also highlighted that bad weather from January to August negatively impacted many creators and artists, preventing them from performing gigs. Waris urged friends of these creators to check on them and not assume they are financially secure just because they are public figures.
