It's just hype. They parade around people that "made it" with their revenue programs. The 99 or so % that never make any, or even lose, money in the process are never shown.
A close friend of mine invested a 4-figure amount into travels, gadgets and all sorts of stuff to show off... while being unemployed. Had a huge, organic crowd of followers, too, on several platforms. Tried everything, but never saw a single cent in return.

    Yeah.

    Hence most that "make it" do it through external links, like sponsors, OnlyFans, merch, blog/newsletter subscriptions and such.

    Yet the platforms are trying to squash that. Just the other day, I witnessed the official YouTube Android TV app skip a video's sponsor.
