TI, I think I'm zeroing in on the problem in your thinking.
Have you ever heard of Dominic Cellini? He's a children's book illustrator. When I first ran across his art he had a few thousand followers on Instagram. Now he has 200k followers and his character Emmy the Robot Maid is the informal mascot of /k. I think he's working on a printed version, and possibly an anime. As far as I can tell, the entirety of his success hinged on having an interesting character and posting it on 4chan/c.
To you, this is immaterial. The idea that someone could self-make a media franchise with potential value in the hundreds of thousands or low millions is of no consequence because it has no societal impact.
You're impatient. You're not trusting in the consumer. You're not confident in the products you would offer. And more than anything else, YOU'RE USING OTHERS TO MEASURE YOUR OWN SUCCESS.
SUCCESS IS NOT A ZERO SUM GAME.

Successful people don't do that.
