Check the YT videos of people who said the same and voluntarily tried to escape a life at the bottom. It’s a comforting illusion that one could hustle onself back into ‘normal’ life. I have seen two attempts, and both gave up.
Also, a lot of chronically poor people have a belief that it’s fundamentally immoral to make a lot of money. It’s not. It really comes down to how you go about it, and what you decide to do with it once you have it.
The vast majority of them can’t. Those who can be trusted with it generally don’t stay poor for long.

Yeah, because N=2 is definitely a statistically significant sample. Especially when it comes to YouTubers.
It’s enough to show that escaping poverty is not trivial.
Yes, just like two black people moving in is proof that the neighborhood is going to shit.
I don’t have better proof. For me it was enough because I also read the comments and there don’t seem to be many success stories.

Could be. What I wanted to say is that the sample size is bigger than two if the community cannot come up with successful bootstrapping stories.
Could be a skill issue.
