Got my US tourist visa application declined 3 years ago, I want to try again but I'm scared about a potential instant rejection again mainly due to the first one

Hey, long story short, 3-4 years ago, 21 at that time, I applied for a tourist visa. I was a uni student (last year), I was also working in the field I was studying and I had documentation to back all that up. I thought my case was solid, who would throw away their job and studies (especially final year)?

Boy, was I wrong. The interview lasted 30 seconds tops (no kidding), I was asked where I got the money from to travel, how much I plan to visit US and that was about it I think. Under a minute. I got rejected. I was never asked about supportive documents or anything like this.

I didn't have any hotel / plane tickets bought because frankly I find it absurd to do that before you even know you can legally go, nor I plan to do that if I were to apply again.

I would really love to give it another go but my situation didn't change much (besides the fact that I'm no longer a student and I'm older, lol).

What do you guys think I should do? Was it just extremely bad luck? It felt incredibly unfair to me.

Thank you.

Edit: I've applied to DV before the initial application, and continued to do so ever since, more of a "why not" thing, I never had the intention to remain illegally with a tourist visa. Not sure if that contributed to my quick rejection, the internet says it doesn't.

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our
