Assuming that this doesn't end up being a bubble.

2026 money + blackhat - shift from loud schemes to infrastructure. Real profit is selling tools to people taking risk: next-gen antidetect, AI account farms, private data pipes, jurisdiction-based KYC bypass automation. Less noise, more picks and shovels.

Social media - not another TikTok. Semi-closed platforms with paid entry, micro-communities + AI personas. Public feeds die, private clusters win.

New money angle most will miss - AI agents as assets. Not SaaS, not courses. Bots that do real work end-to-end and get sold, rented, flipped like websites in 2012. Whoever builds the marketplace + analytics layer prints.

Core theme - control, privacy, automation. Everything else is distraction.

I believe in AI and the market say the same.

The numbers dont lie.

Well, AI will keep growing and will be big in 2026.

I will focus to use and I recommend do the same.

Who controls AI, have a nice 2026.

Anything related AI will boom in 2026.

AI.

What are people's thought on affiliate marketing? Someone mentioned AI Agents, so selling those?

What’s likely to be big in 2026 across money, tech, social media, and emerging income streams both mainstream and fringe without sugar-coating the hype vs.

 

[Erick Myers]

The next big thing in content marketing is artificial intelligence (AI) automation!

 

[Rock bin]

Information technology will take the lead.

Short form adult content.
That shit converts like hot pancakes.

Interesting.. how you wanna make money of that - views into OnlyFans subs or Posting them on Tube sites and earning for views?

 

[megakim]

Short answer: AI stuff keeps blowing up. Deepfake + niche content farms are still under the radar for now.
Money moves? Automation of lead gen and scraping for micro-niches pays off. People sleeping on it because manual spam still looks normal to them.

The calls for AI services and AI courses are disappointing.

What do you think will be big in 2026, regarding money/blackhat?

What's going to be the new social media platform?

What's going to be the newest way to make money that not many people were aware of during 2025?

The next big thing will probably be AI and automation, but honestly I hope it doesn’t take away people’s jobs. Tools are cool, but I’d rather see AI help us work smarter, not replace us.

I have plenty of predictions but they all revolve around AI. The videos are getting good and first AI millionares from third-hand work already exist (Look at Tiktok and Youtube reels). it will just keep going up and up all the time.

PS. I uninstalled Tiktok and youtube because I'm sick of the AI. I'm pretty sure that i'm not alone.

I'm devoting most my spare time in learning all I can.
