It is always good to see people with successes that granted them some amount of freedom. Though it looks daunting in a time/competition sense, it is one day at a time towards a goal, and compounding focus amounts to large efforts that look daunting.
These threads are great because they motivate and show you what is possible, should you choose to pursue.
Not everyone has success either, these are survivorship bias. However, the reality is the ability to succeed is there. Many of these ideas, big business would not pursue due to market size, but for one man/small teams these are perfect.
With enough time put towards something and smart tuning to niche/market/needs, efforts can be fruitful.
