Yes? I'd imagine there are tens of thousands of people who are credible social media influencers and content creators.

Even a few tens of thousands of people is less than 1% of the people making an attempt.

He’s right in being skeptical that “people” (who?) thought that “being a creator” was a viable career path, as the article suggests was the case.

It's like saying being a professional basketball player is not a viable career path because most people don't make it. The mere fact of it's exclusivity is besides the point.

Being a content creator/influencer is a viable career path. There are creators with disabilities, creators that never speak, creators that never show their face. Not everyone makes great money but for many people the money is enough.
