Youtube exists since 2005, and it only gains more and more popularity since then. It's a little bit more than 8 years so far and let's say it's about a 10th of an average lifespan. Considering that watching videos will be a thing for the next 60-70 years (there's no real evidence that it would stop, people love looking at moving pictures), and paying the creators money makes them produce better videos and so increase the site popularity (profitable for managers), I can't find a single reason not to earn money like that as long as you're convinced you won't lose your popularity (if you're good at this and put much of an effort, you probably won't). And if youtube finally breaks down, the rival sites would probably still offer a payment for you making good videos, so you won't end up near a Walmart's cash register
