Yes, lots of people are monetizing their hobbies. TikTok and YouTube are full of such people. Pick your hobby - any hobby, and you'll find dozens of popular channels for that hobby. Here's the thing to keep in mind though, there are billions of people. Any hobby you can think of has millions of people engaged in it yet only dozens (maybe hundreds) of people gain prominence and are actively trying to monetize their hobby. This has actually always existed, it's just in the past these were small-scale, home-based businesses. Now there are more markets to reach your "customer", to use business parlance. Most people aren't bothering with any of this.
