It definitely matters for them, and most likely also for you, but think about it for a while.
What are they making the "big" money from? Do they create any value? Do they benefit the watchers in any real way? Or are they making their followers just more stupid and dependent on such a content?
And, would you love your kid to earn living in such a way (once you have one)?
Money is fine, but you should not measure someone's success by how much money they made. For me, a guy working as a dustman is more successful (and 100 times more important) than any person living from a SM platform such as Tiktok, as long as they post the type of content OP described...
But each to their own of course. Just wanted to give you some food for thought, if you happen to not be "braindead" yet
