I think the article from that Australian site is like 8 years old on the trend. I mean even Africa, South America is evolved out of that sort of clickbait. Here kids are making money off youtube and surpassing day jobs. I suppose the freelance writers and the journalist need to keep up with the time. lol.
Oh. Normally this same author writes about superannuation. That is dated ;)
Not really. You have to look at audience. The "kids" have no track record, have no experience, so try for workless wealth. However, how many of them are actually going to live off it and live off it for the rest of their lives? How many Instagram bikini models will be able to turn it into a profession when they are 45?
