Wouldn't ever advise anyone to give up a job for this! Would be insane. I don't have one to give up and as I'm pushing late 50's, the chances are slim. So for me medium is a bit of distraction and earning few $$ but certainly wouldn't give up job. I would phone my mother too if she was still alive. And no, haven't been off my computer chair and up most of the night creating a ko-fi account. 😉 A lot of what you say here is true and it's more about content pushing and quantity over quality. Although not for me, as I go for both. Takes me ages to write things and getting pennies for them is disheartening.
