Very true. It feels like there was a collision between the worst practical needs of living in a gig economy and the worst parts of being online in an ad revenue algorithm-driven age. Nothing beats real creative leisure time and the chance to work on and share things that interest and excite you.
I'm working on something right now where I'm thinking, "Almost no one is going to click on this, and most of the people who do are going to click away because it's a combination of very specific interests and a very specific format," but I'm having so much fun writing it, and if anything, being beholden to no one is making a much more freeing experience.
