Is it generally considered professional or unprofessional for a licensed psychologist (or psychologist in training) to also be a content creator?

For example, would it depend on the niche? Are there certain types of content that would be seen as perfectly acceptable, while others could damage credibility or be considered unethical?

Some examples:

- Psychology education and mental health content

- Gaming

- Movie or TV reviews

- Pop culture commentary

- Comedy

- Politics

- Lifestyle or vlogs

- Streaming on platforms like Twitch

I'm interested in both ethical considerations and how it affects public perception. Does being a content creator itself matter, or is it mainly about the type of content and how professionally it's presented?

I'd especially love to hear from psychologists, therapists, graduate students, or anyone familiar with professional ethics.

Thxxx in advance :)
