Opening the forum with the most useful question.
The landscape shifted hard this past year — freelance marketplaces got hollowed out by AI bidding, some YouTube channels exploded while others died, subscription economies normalised, and side projects either turned into income or quietly closed.
Tell us:
1) What's actually paying your bills right now?
2) Roughly how many hours a week does it eat?
3) What surprised you this year — what worked that you didn't expect, what stopped working that used to be solid?
No judgement on big/small. Just data points. I'll share mine in the comments.
