Does internet 'clout' actually translate to real-world respect?

I've been thinking a lot lately about the massive disconnect between traditional wealth and the new "streamer millionaire" lifestyle. We see all these clips of young creators making millions while older generations look at them with pure confusion or even total disdain. Do you think there will ever be a middle ground where content creation is viewed with the same weight as a corporate 100k/year job? Or are we just destined to have this eternal battle between "traditional workers" and "internet personalities" who live by completely different social standards? I’m genuinely curious if you guys think this gap will ever close or if the digital age has permanently changed what "success" actually looks like
