Everyone says the resources are out there and that’s correct, but the “no shit” statement they don’t say but perform daily is passion. That’s something a former friend if mine didn’t get and gave up streaming after a year and deleted their socials.
It’s real comforting knowing many successful people, big or small, keep on going and maybe have some aspect you relate to, not necessarily emotional, but moreso something tangible, like knowing a content creator uses a laptop and a second monitor instead of a gaming rig,
or a creator starting their work at an older age than you expect. There’s also the fact that most people are not specifically going for popular tactics all the time to “meta game” their success, they find a community, even if it takes forever or a couple months.
