It is not easy, I've made little over $1k in about 6ish years of doing it as a hobby. It takes time, dedication, and an amount of knowledge about different systems. My advice, if you want to do, do it! But keep it as a hobby unless you get a winning ticket. Also important, don't fake it (viewbots / chatbots) and dont steal it (art or assets). Making online media content is pretty fun and can help flex the creative muscles!
But I also have a lemmy.today. Because I was on Lemm.ee, but that died, sadly.
