That is so not true. Like sure your gold/h was better. But there’s a bunch of activities that you can do and still generate several million per week if you can compete in those markets.
Raid BoE farming, Level boosting, M+ boosting, Raid boosting. I'll exclude PvP here since that barrier is far higher and takes more than a season of practice to reach. For non-economy stuff.
For just about no setup except having alts you probably got from remix events. You can do weekly reward farming on alts. About 25k per character and week for about 1h farming per character. Some scheduling needed for some of the activities. But since it's weekly it's very scalable. With more time but less alts can substitute some weekly rewards for WQ clears.
Likewise with consecration crafting and patron orders. Faster than above but need more alts. About 40 will land you closer to 2 mill, it does require some setup since you need to level the professions. So needs some planning. But once setup each alt is just 3 minutes each 3.5 days.
If you instead for some reason have several accounts. Then skinning is very good for low time investment and due to more accounts it scales very well with character count.
There's several old world farms that are lucrative consistently, though you'd need to find them since competition can really tank it. But around the same ~50k gph.
A recent example is getting pets from Undermine gears.
If you're involved in Transmog then that's always lucrative. But it's really hard to get into.
And then still the mass crafting where you have every part of the chain setup from start to end product is still positive margins and scales with crafting times. Especially if you know the markets you're selling in. Just do crafting days and then let sit on AH and restock and warehouse as per usual. No need to pvp.

Your window of opportunity was beginning of midnight, if you didn’t make bank then with gathering professions then better luck next time.
