Things can both be literally correct and patronizing. Words have cannotations beyond their literal meanings
In this case "Young content creator" can have the implication that she is not a real success but is only impressive because of her age. Since if she was on the level of a real media personality there would be no need to add the "young" adjective. She would just be a "content creator"
Similarly, content creator can have the implication you run a blog or get your fame solely from social media instead of being good enough for more traditional venues (which could be true, i dont know this person).
Is all that massively over thinking this? Probably. But i understand how the phrase could be seen as patronizing even if literally accurate.
