I'm actually not at all concerned with what other people make. In fact, I'm happy for those few people who can make a decent living at this sort of thing.

The problem I have is that the entire monetization structure seems to be badly designed, and the prevalence of bots means people get a lot of non-organic attention. Overall, I don't think it can sustain itself long term, so I don't want to keep investing my time into it when it may all be for naught.
