"Committing to a niche...exploding right now" is still a gamble, because while you might stumble on something where the rates are currently climbing nicely, it could just as easily drop. Internet trends are like the fashion business: constantly changing. If you don't mind always chasing after the current big thing, knock yourself out, but being a jack-of-all-trades that can smoothly plug in to whatever's currently hot is not easy to do. You might latch on to a subscriber base that doesn't tire of you while you stick to one niche, but very few influencers can pull that off for long. Your best best is to be a young, good looking, smooth talking personality that viewers like to connect with, regardless of what you're doing or saying.
