Q7: Favorite parts - industry
What do you enjoy most about being in your industry? My industry is kind of around creator economy things and online communities. We were building products to help them monetize and support themselves.
The thing that I really liked is that I was working on something that I would use. I got into the space because I played too many video games and was part of a bunch of online communities. It was really fun to interact with the folks for whom those communities really matter and who were actually helping set those communities up.
There was, if I were to use a more corporate word for it, an impact. I got to do something that I thought was actually good, and that's really fun.
