The measure of how much value YOU generate for YOURSELF is how much you get paid.

But generally, if you can generate a lot of value for the company, and demonstrate it, you will go far, and you will make much more money, especially if you can do it consistently and threaten to leave.

Doing a jira ticket in 20 minutes instead of 2 hours, then spending the extra time watching youtube is fine, but how about becoming a manager, making 3x as much money, and spending 100% of your time watching youtube? Or better yet, watching movies in first class on the plane to the "strategic conference" in Hawaii.
