Considering HN biased towards startups, I wonder can the same reasoning be applied to starting a company. Starting a SAAS company sounds the same:
- the connection between effort and reward is unpredictable
- subject to the whims of a largely-opaque algorithm (product-market fit)
- strong track record of attracting and maintaining a large audience
> You can be flying high today, only to have it all change tomorrow, without any explanation.
Probably this one is not that harsh as it seems, Ludwig made an experiment "I made a secret YouTube channel to prove it's not luck". Many creators are using multiple platforms and income sources, so it's not all YT in the end.
