If they target a good niche it could be a career. I don't mean the traditional "influencer" type that I think of with vapid content pushing products. I mean more like a content creator type on youtube but with other social media presences, its the same concept but niched down.
A niche I follow people in, woodworking, there are several that have quit day jobs and produce content. One in particular has reached over 100k in revenue from making content about building workshop stuff. These are people that are creating things though - plans for sale, funny merch, and instructional content that is helpful. In some ways the content is timeless.
To me I think the corollary to software is devs (like me) that wanted to pursue becoming a solo or indie software shop. So I say go for it to the Gen-Zers but have alternate plans or a fallback as well if it doesn't pan out.
