There’s a pretty wide range of things that are considered passive income. The examples you listed are some of them, and I agree that they are or can be exploitative, but there are many (particularly the ones where someone benefits from monetizing their own creations) that I wouldn’t.
Edit: I’m not trying to give you a hard time. I was trying to better understand what you were saying.
That list is divided into “extract rents” and “work a job” It seems kinda weird to call a job passive income just because you’re not paid a wage. But no I don’t mean people buying a book you wrote.

Got it, thanks. I agree that those two things are pretty different from each other.
