People at 18-25 are largely impatient and willing to invest crazy energy and time in very insignificant (for the revenue) directions.

I think it's pretty normal to stereotype young people, especially having in mind that most of us were impatient and lacked focus / direction at our younger age as well.

Exceptions do exist. My wife is 22 and has to be the most patient and level-headed person I ever met. But those exceptions are very few and far between.

Again, it's a pretty safe bet to stereotype young people.
