Yep, the world is changing but those who invest in early tend not to be the young as while they might take risks, they have very little capital. On Steem, no capital needed to start investing.
I find the young these days more end user and consumer, than creator. Those do start to generate early will do well above average.
The exception makes the normal. For an exceptional person, age has a very different meaning. They challenge not only life, but they also challenge themselves as well.
I believe more young people than ever are willing to create, that is also what I did experience lately in my personal environment and by hanging around in the www. Trillions of posts every day speak for themselves and Socialblade shows 32.3M YouTube Creators 2019, lot's of them are very 'young'.
It is the differentiation of content matter that I question, the competitive advantage. There are always going to be some percentage of exceptional, risk takers and divergent thinkers
