Could be. Take a look through Youtube, and look around the internet. Try to find some how-to's or "writing advice." The ones I happen upon, are almost invariably made by young women, who often published nothing yet, or only self-published one single book.

Maybe, but still the impression is there. Working authors and people don't have _time_ to make one Youtube video after another talking about writing advice and giving tips how to write better books. Most of the people doing so have no meaningful work to refer to, and they are _mostly_ women, in my experience.
That gives the impression of someone who doesn't have a job (and thus lives on welfare and/or is supported by someone else), who writes for amusement, and makes video's about it, hoping to one day make it as an author.
So yes, maybe it's more the 50's than one cares to admit, even in 2018.
Try it. Search YouTube and the internet and see for yourself.
