I write, edit, record, and publish everything I create, all by myself.

Patreon, Nebula, even Audible will give you a better cut of the proceeds.

Video slop is even less commercially viable than the audio, pictures, and literature.

Sora got yanked off the market inside a few months due to how badly it burned tokens for video nobody wanted to look at.
