I don't want to be an Influencer.

The problem with content creation is that because you're monetarily incentivized to do it, you must and will eventually drift toward the desires of your audience. Audiences are fickle beasts.

There's also the time factor that comes into play. You might or might not be purposefully ignoring nuance and depth, but that doesn't automatically translate to ensuring you're giving it a proper chance to...rise like bread dough, either.

Being a content creator puts you in the crosshairs and at the whim of a mob.

From the time you started your publication, and I agree it hasn't been that long, you're already copying other people's ideas and language, drifting toward anti-woman material as a means to cater to a certain crowd, and not really thinking through some of your themes and premises.

And you are developing a devotee fan base. It's small, but you haven't written anything that's gone viral yet, or been boosted (that I've seen, and remember--not that I recall off the top of my head anyway).
