Yep, same with any kind of influencer or youtuber or anything close to that.

For every person you see or hear about making thousands or tens of thousands of dollars a month… there are a hundred thousand people making basically nothing.

… And also a lot of ‘influencer’ type people are just lying about everything, its all rentals, credit cards, and many of them don’t even know they need to file and pay taxes on income from content.

The algorithm just tends to only or mostly show you the most popular people… so you mostly only see the top 0.1% of people, but you see them all the time.

Its basically a casino + societal level gaslighting.

The more honest influencers who are quite popular will just straight up tell you they got lucky, randomly boosted by the algorithm at some point, and they were able to expand on that.

But without that luck, you more or less never get super popular, or it takes a solid decade of consistent effort.
