48. Yes, the money is decent for some. Depending on the effort put in even a thousand a month can be ok

as some extra side money in addition to a regular job. Most people that do well have personalities that are appealing and much of the money comes from brand deals. They might have some talent or something from things like cooking or crafts or doing makeup which they can continue doing to make money.

But my comment was more towards the many many people that are hoping to become wealthy and not have any other job. These people resort to click bait. Another problem is that the money they make is not guaranteed. Views can go down and there is always competition. These are the people that started pushing MAGA shit .
