I disagree honestly. The internet isn’t saturated, low-effort people are.

A plumber can make great money, sure, but he’s still limited by location, hours and physical work. A strong online business can scale globally 24/7.

Most people failing online are just selling recycled garbage with no real skill behind it. That’s not saturation, that’s competition getting harder.

If online was “dead”, companies wouldn’t be dumping billions into AI, cloud, SaaS and digital infrastructure right now.

But the companies you mention at the end are corporations with billions of dollars to be invested, and often are monopolies... Can't really compare to what a regular Joe can do

That’s exactly my point though. Those corporations became giants because the internet gives insane scalability and leverage. A regular Joe can still benefit from the same thing on a smaller scale. One person can build a SaaS, media page, agency, tool, community or digital service and reach millions online. A plumber can’t suddenly service customers worldwide from his garage.

The barrier now isn’t “the internet is saturated”, it’s that people actually need skill, consistency and differentiation now instead of easy money tactics from 2016.

The plumber can start his own company too... The scalabilty of the internet is mostly taken advantaged of by entities with more capital and power than you, while with IRL businesses you have more margin to get some +EV imo
