That makes a lot of sense, and I really agree with your point about understanding the process, not just the surface. Attracting an audience is one thing, but monetizing it well is a completely different skill — and that gap is something a lot of people underestimate.
I also like what you said about genuinely enjoying the niche. Passion really does make consistency easier, especially in something like gaming where trends change fast. If you enjoy the work, you’re much more likely to stick with it long enough to build something meaningful.
