Kids will learn. Tween-aged kids have no conception for how difficult life can be and it doesn't matter how much you tell them so. The point with kids is to build up their confidence and sense of possibility, and help explain to them the specific consequences for the mistakes they inevitably make as they test out this possibility.
Telling young girls they can "get rich quick" is not the best way to go about all this, but it mostly serves to show, in part, what is possible. Girls are not reading these flashy magazines for deep reading. It's not something they consciously mull over as they read-- the effect is subconscious. The more magazines consumed, the more the messages of what's possible become more concrete in the background, and she will start to pay attention to the Youtubers she loves from a different perspective-- one of gathering tips and watching for how they became successful. That is, if she wants to start a business anyways. Mostly moms pick up these magazines for their kids.
edit: I also want to say that becoming successful in an enterprise like Youtube while one is young is phenomenal for confidence. Even just starting to create is very good for confidence. The venture won't last forever, but the adult will always have the confidence they built in their younger years.
