My small brother is part of that hype. At his age I had a few lucrative freelance jobs under my belt, but he is oddly fixated at getting money without putting in anything that could be specified as work. I did what I loved doing and got paid for it, for him there is nothing he loves doing that he could earn money with. I now work in high level education in one of the top universities in that field in Europe and so I am in touch with many of his generational peers. Sadly I can't help but recognize this a significant trend, within some students (luckily a minority) thst has emerged in the past 5 years. As if they want to do the thing without actually doing the thing. Like a musician who wants to be a musician, but despises spending time on playing or rehearsing actual music. I am not entirely sure what it is all about, but I could imagine both the internet and a certain US president has shaped the idea that appearance is the only thing that matters, while substance is for losers and suckers.
