/sci/ - Science & Math

Soundcloud rappers, beating your parents on live tv shows and making yourself look like a retard for the shake of others.
These are some of the skills required for someone to go viral on 2018 and 5 years back to get yourself rich.

Im asking for a theory someone might have as to how these individuals get richer than
any PhD hodler of science or astrophysicist will ever get in their lifetime. Do you really need knowledge to be rich?

Bright examples:

>lilpump,lilxanx,lildick etc: talk about snorting heroin off of cocks and make more money in a concert than someone make in ten years.
>Bhad baby(how bout dat): Beat her parents on live tv show. Prolly hasnt finished highschool yet nor she will, made her first million dollar in the first month after she came on a tv show. Sing scripted songs atm and makemillions
>Walmart Kid Yodeling: His singing sucks he has no talent,watch him make his first million cuz every manager look for a kid that goes viral, no brain no talent, just gone viral and gonna get him millions before he gets adult , from advertisement only.

Im looking for people's opinion of what they think about it. Even tho all the viral shit are mostly in Murica, the country of the most fucked up rednecks but some smart guys as well. Your PhD and 20 years of studding will never make you more money than a kid yodeling on walmart. How does it make you feel? The knowledge is money just stopped existing since the internet came up.

Whats your thoughts?
