Are people really making money flipping domains?

I started subscribing a while back, and it just seems to me that most of the domains I see here really are not worth more than a few hundred max. I could see a volume play where you host for 10 years on average and exit for $200-$250, but I just don't get most of what I see around here. I ask this from a place of curiosity - what is really happening here?

AliExpress Recommendations

Is there a list of recommended AliExpress vendors. Ideally just cheap ones. I'm going to do my first build and I'm sure I'll mess everything up, so just want something cheap, really.

Read42.com - A Quiet Place to Read

I'm looking for some feedback on a side project I have been working on the past month. Initially, I made it for myself; I wanted a anti-social media site (meaning something that has no interaction really, just reading insightful calm content) but seeing that I don't really have any additional costs in sharing it, I figured I would just make it public.

There is a login to customize option, but it's not required, you get 99% of the functionality as an anonymous user, but am curious if that comes across cleanly.

No long term monitizatoin goal other than perhaps tighten up some of the content so that every post makes you stop and say, I'm glad I read that. But the general site construction is likely complete now, it's just tweaking the content a bit, which I would also like general feedback on from a content mix perspective.

I would love your productive thoughts on what I built. Read42.com

Thanks!
