Actually a fascinating read! Once again, the way to make money in a gold rush is by selling shovels:

it seems like the people most reliably making money are the ones racking up YouTube and podcast views and selling ebooks, guides, and WhatsApp and Telegram access to places where you can learn more about how to do this yourself

Crazy that Facebook will pay you to churn out low-effort shit now, the platform already died for most of us when they were doing that just for the ego boost!
