Do people after 50 turn brain dead in your experience? 

This is the weirdest gatekeeping I’ve ever seen “60 year olds could never comprehend online advertising generating revenue”

In my experience, yes.

You could literally be making $100k+ a year on twitch and a lot of them still wouldn't get it.  They would just make the argument of "well you can't expect to do that forever" and other excuses.  

I do some video editing on the side for YouTube channels.  When I tell people I video edit they show support and enthusiasm up until they find out its for YouTube channels.  Then all of a sudden its like "oh.... uhh....cool" as if its not a real gig.  And then its usually questions like "does it pay well?" and when I tell them yes they give me this look like they don't believe me. 

I could have the same conversation with a 20-something year old and its a completely different conversation.  They sometimes act like I hit the jackpot.  

So yeah, boomers tend to not understand the revenue generated from streaming or making YouTube videos.  Even if they do, its like they look down on it.
