Exactly why I stopped making YouTube comedy videos. I enjoyed making people laugh, but I just got tired of putting all the work in.
I don't really do creative stuff anymore, but I'm kind of okay to let other people do it and enjoy what they do at my age. I like seeing my daughter's drawings. She's really good.

I recommend making things for yourself. I've always found trying to make things for an audience terribly burdensome. I felt like if I was asking myself if people will like something, then I'm not being creative so much as doing what people want me to. I've found so much more satisfaction in making what I want, for myself.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was making them for myself. I certainly wasn't making any money from it (I actually could have if YouTube had done monetized videos a couple of years earlier, but that's another issue). Knowing I made other people laugh was a nice reward, but comedy takes a ton of effort and at some point, the effort just wasn't worth it to me anymore. Honestly, if I was making it for others, I would have kept doing it. Every so often, someone will send me a message asking me if I'll make more videos, but I'm just not interested in being creative at this point in my life. My energies go elsewhere and I'm happier that way, at least for now.

This does not apply only to creators...

There are people who make but aren't creators? How's that work?

Depends on what my state of mind is. I often enjoy the "make" but now and then I have the want but not the drive for it.

But also the other way round
Right? I love to craft things. But then what do I do with 35 mediocre looking leather pouches?
Sell them to a vendor
Have I got the Ren Fair for you.
