I feel like "passive" income is anything that takes under 10 hours a week once it's up and running. There's rarely any opportunity that can be considered passive if your definition is 0 work ever once it's going. The only thing that [might] fit into that slot is investment dividends.

I don’t know if it’s 0 for me, but it’s definitely way less than 10 hours per week.

I have ETFs and a HYSA that I basically never look at. That’s passive.

yeah I guess if passive means no ongoing work (beyond what it took to get them in the first place) then you're right. OP is playing a bit loose with the definition if that's what it's supposed to mean.
