I understand your point of view even if I do not agree, but whatever you say you cannot deny that this forum has a lot of toxicity and people who have children's thoughts, even though they own large private servers, the real developers are out of this forum, they are just people with basic knowledge about computing and having common sense in programming and other things does not mean that you are a developer
a true developer does not cry because there is competition, you learn from it and try to improve your skills day by day
and I am not trying to say something generic, but it is reality, if you are going to make a living out of this make you want to and I swear that with the simple act of encouraging you, someone else will make you different and show enthusiasm for the project
i don't think so..
i've worked with a lot of servers and most of them paid good youtubers to promote they rsps's
days later they died...
if you'r loyal to the players and don't advertise fake shit you'r in the good way
