Today I was approached by a first year in my highschool because he heard that us fourth years were taught to make websites. I told him that even though I personally wasn't a wiz at it, there are quite a few free online resources to learn HTML5 or CSS, at a basic level, sure, but still enough to make his personal website.
We chatted like this, I told him that I knew quite a few people that made their own pages, he told me that was cool, whatever. And then, I finally decided to ask him what his idea was. Previously I had assumed he wanted to host like, a blog, or an about me page, or something like that, but he responded with "I want to monetize it with Google AdSense!".
The kid (who was like 13-12) had literally ZERO concepts for what he would actually make, he literally just had the thought that if you host something and put ads on it you can make cash. He then went on to talk to me about how much we wanted to invest in cryptocurrency for ~15 minutes.
