Well, any commercial computer activity tends to suck because the field is so full of assholes. But if you work for yourself then you can choose your own work style. Consider that games are extremely popular on Kickstarter and often fund past their goals. It can be a side gig, but if you like it, you could expand.

Me, I've done conventional publishing. I found that crowdfunding is often more lucrative for me. I like working this way because I enjoy the audience interaction, I don't have a crappy workplace or boss, and ironically some of my fans have deeper pockets than poetry editors.
