Summary

Daniel refuses to seek employment while YouTube remains viable, waiting until savings are exhausted and videos fall to roughly 500 views. He says jobs themselves were tolerable; intolerable coworkers, especially a Nepalese petrol- station colleague, drove him to quit and prefer isolation. YouTube is his ideal solitary, creative job; he says it funded the past year and promotes another channel, Twitch, Patreon, and ideas.

Insight

He converts workplace hostility into a principled defense of isolation and continued creator self- employment.
