Well, "startup" is a poor choice of words, but he actually has a half-decent idea.
As someone who owns dozens of little "tool" sites (think less/scss converters, meme generators, JS beautifiers, etc), I can tell you each is probably 1-2 pages, took an hour to build and thankfully due to some domain squatting (kw in domain) and a low bounce rate I don't have to worry much about SEO.
As for the Adsense revenue, I think you'd be quite surprised.
One is an afternoon, not a startup idea.
50, on the other hand, could be passive income for a very long time.
Just something to consider before jumping to negativity. ;)
