Yes - that's the rhetorical foundation of this piece of nonsense. It's not that you can't have a career in the arts - it's that you can't even have a career in the arts. Or a successful boutique online small business. So you should definitely lower your expectations. There's nothing wrong with steering some people towards the trades instead. But if even 50% of the people in the Social Media long tail decided to become a plumber, roofer, or builder, what does the author think would happen to their hourly rate? Meanwhile the real elites are buying huge companies, firing thousands of people on a whim, and running those companies into the ground like drunken frat boys - but without any noticeable difference to their living standard or opportunities. They're also saying "As a CEO and/or investor mistakes were made, so - thanks, but bye. Well now I feel so terrible, but never mind, I'm sure I'll get over it somehow." Not a surprise to find the author is a Musk apologist and Twitter sceptic but also a professional critic of progressive politics.
