Alex Kretzschmar

Where's the motivation?

Right.

And of course, my motivation is I get a paycheck every month.

but if the channel goes from 1600 subscribers to 53,000 subscribers, I still get paid the same.

Yeah.

You know, I suppose the validation is that I couldn't negotiate though.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I suppose the validation is the promotion is the fact that I'm still employed is, you know, lots of different positive signals, but like, it's just, these are the sorts of things that you think about in the shower and just at like 2am your mind starts going.

You're like, well, how can I maximize just everything?

How can I maximize it for tail scale?

How can I maximize it for Alex?

How can I make sure that the audience is getting the most out of it too?

Because ultimately if the audience is happy and,

that will drive everything else down the road.

So really my focus isn't on me.

It's not on Tailscale.

It's on what people want to see and need to hear and want to hear.

Some of my best performing content has been hour-long deep dive tutorials in how to set up a self-hosted server from scratch.

It's got nothing to do with Tailscale, does it?
