You can realistically make a handful of products. You can advertise millions.
Would you rather sell 1 product, or advertise a million different products?
Your logic seems to miss that crucial point.
Look at it this way. Paid subscription = Manufacturing. Advertising income = Retailing.
Would you say there's also no money in retailing? (Which is really just a form of advertising supported).
My argument is that there's plenty of money in both if you know what you're doing. Which you chose is likely a matter of personal preference, and how much risk you like taking.
