Writing code won't bring in any money. You can keep writing code after 20 years, while being at the same place. How many videos did you do before quitting marketing? Developing systems and a clear daily action plan has helped me get over the burden of creating content.

97 Twitch streams (and Youtube VOD uploads) + 32 shorts on Youtube, TikTok and Instagram. Best short got 5k views on YT, most got about 1k.
I didn't say I quit completely, I still stream when I play games because it doesn't cost me anything to do that since I was going to play the game anyway.
I no longer go through the VODs and try to cut them into shorts though, as it's such a huge time sink (and I don't think I'm very entertaining).
I made a couple of shorts directly related to my products too but as neither of them are really visual (one deals with micprohone audio, the other deal with mouse sensitivity), it's a bit difficult.
