Luck is a big factor but still... Rolling the dice does not present much of an opportunity cost. I've seen people make a hobby out of gaming these platforms and algorithms with the most random things imaginable until they found something that sticked. They had nothing, then suddenly they had significant amounts of money. It doesn't matter what it is, it just needs to grab attention for long enough for the advertisers to push their products. It's not like the guy had to go to school for 10 years to do it.

To really take a swing at it requires basically full time commitment. It's like starting a small media corporation actually.
