Yeah, to be honest people are making money online especially young people, because the internet offers a lot of opportunities for millenials to tap into.
I think many people are using it positively and in my country it has helped immensely in youth unemployment, which has plagued Nigeria.
An advise here, you should never settle, if you feel comfortable where you are and your type of earning, learn more skills, get certification if necessary, it will really pay in the long term and diversify the way you make your money, create means of earning actively and passively and keep on tweaking it, y'all got this.
