As a hobby I can afford so far. If it starts costing me a lot of time or money, I'll be in a much better position to understand who needs what else, and what that's worth to them. Some link-in-bio services integrate the sale of goods, physical or digital, for example.
People are getting dumber for sure. They now expect an instant answer for everything. People no longer understand how systems are built or why they were built. Even worse, they don't even want to know because they never bother to look it up.
I too, long for the days of 5 years ago when people understood how systems were built. What a peachy time that was. People were so knowledgeable, curious, and engaged with the systems that defined their lives. I am glad you reminded me about those happier, erudite days, as I was almost struggling to believe that such a time ever existed.
