What you said about creators basically trying to replicate the certainty of a traditional career stood out to me. I think as an older creator I look at this path a lot differently than other creators who are younger. The vanity milestones like views and subscriber counts are nice to hit, but they're really poor KPIs for qualitatively measuring if the work is worth continuing. Also, I am not trying to "arrive" at a set destination. I'm just trying to play an infinite game so that I can just keep doing what I'm doing for as long as I can.

yeah i think im in a similar camp - i do see this as inherently an unstable artist path, i dont expect any sort of career stability!
