Why are you spending time marketing fresh air? If you have nothing to sell? First get your content game on. Build your stock/sites. Then market those. Why is that so hard to figure out? Lots of noobs come here with big social media spamming plans, but no clue about content. Content is what makes the web move.

With 16 hours and $0, your currency is skill, not cash. Pick one high-demand skill and master it fast. Solve problems for people already earning.
Time + focus beats starting capital every time.

If I was 22 again (am 36 running 37 now) I would tell myself to relax and figure out something in a cool mind.
I would spend time learning, having fun and also enjoying the 20s.
I am sure AI cannot replace jobs. There are always new things that pop. Learn a new tool and a build a portfolio in your free time. Create mock projects to show as samples when you get back in the job market.
If you are looking to branch out of programming. Get into sales and marketing. Evergreen, lucrative and nobody can steal this from you.
Additionally AI didn't take the jobs. AI is just an easy excuse these corporations want to give for the mass layoff. The actuals reasons are poor market conditions, financial distress, over leveraged, liquidity issues and over hiring during COVID.
The bright side to this is, the market will eventually pick up and by the time you will be more upskilled.
Trust me, because I started my career during 2008, and 2009. The markets were down till almost 2011. Job markets crashed but it eventually took off again.
But if it is FOMO. Don't bother. Each one will have their time. As long as you are in 20s you are allowed to do crazy things, explore new jobs, meet people and experiment. My best days experimenting and risk taking were early 20s.

Additionally workout and keep exercising to keep your dopamine and other happy harmones going. Also join physical work related clubs(network with people in various industries) with them. Meet a lot of people, step outside.
It will really help and you will figure out what to do.

Learn/pick up new skills, exercise, have fun(nothing can bring back youth), and try picking up a book. I suggest "Who moved my cheese" and "Chicken Soup for the Soul: Reboot Your Life"
Good luck.

First i will ask myself a question , what skills do i have which i can sell online ?
webdevelopment , graphic design , seo , social media marketing etc
If not i will develop some skills and start selling my service(s) on freelancer .
I will select a skill which aligns my interest so i will enjoy the learning journey as well
Learning will not require any investment as many tutorials are available for free online .

Doesn't answer your question but these are some good advice.
It all depends on what skills you have.

If you don't want to interact with others, then spamming. If you can interact and sell products, then it's better to resell products or services.
