Agreed! Influencers are a subset under celebrities, and many celebrities don't make anywhere near the money that media says they do. That being said, if you plan on using social media and services like YouTube, the prospects of being profitable are low... YouTube as well does not pay well, especially for beginners and the market is totally flooded with people following the exact same scripts and dreams. If you can use your skills to do so, create your own direct sales platform and publish/sell your work there. It will take a lot to get past the unknown hurdle, but once you do, you won't need to continually pay for promotion and you likely won't compete on a huge platform for the attention of your audience. The ability to work and thrive as an independent creator is under huge threats as AI is pushed further onto all of us as a phony replacement for human creation. It will likely be too late to revert to a focus on original human content again once everyone realizes that Ai only replaces humans to create a dystopian and soul-less Internet... So strap on your helmet, and make sure whatever you do cannot be easily emulated by a bot.
