I think the point of the statement is less "nobody out here is monetizing it on YouTube" and more "you'll meet all sorts of interesting people out here and most of them just live the way they live, no incentive required." Sure you can go on YouTube and live vicariously through a young white dude with a cute girlfriend in a flat bill cap and Oakley sunglasses and a 100k RV shilling products at you and starting every video with "what is up guys hit the notification bell down below", and maybe you can imagine your life being more like that. Maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about gardening or cooling an aluminum box in the summer. But actually getting out there, you'll find a ton of people actually living interesting lives without a gopro on a selfie stick.
