I know there are about a billion podcasts and it is unlikely to ever make money.
Nevertheless, I enjoy the process, I get to learn a lot and it pushes me to become better at interviewing. So I keep going.
I’m the project leader for Homebrew and have been maintaining it for 12 years. I have no planned dramatic changes for it or expectations I’ll radically improve it in any way. I just try to keep all parts of the project ticking along and I still enjoy doing so, despite feeling no real obligation to continue.
I'm currently the lead maintainer of Solvespace (CAD): https://solvespace.com/index.pl It's a very fun to use CAD program, but is somewhat limited in capability. When I came across it I loved it but quickly ran into its limitations, so I joined the effort. Long term I don't see it growing into full-fledged CAD, but I'm happy to see it progress and help it along. Some day, someone might undertake the major refactoring…

I have a somewhat related experience with DCB/premium SMS-es. I run a relatively small-but-not-trivial amount of IoT devices that communicate over GSM/2G.

I'm a musician. Long term. 43 years old, been playing forever. Don't care if I get any success at it. Not a hobby. Makes money sometimes. I play professionally. For money. On stage. If you play for your entire life, you can get really good at a ton of things. I played pedal steel at a rehearsal for my country band tonight. I played piano at a rehearsal for my hot club jazz band on Monday. I played upright bass at a r…
I created Plorium to solve a problem I've had personally: finding the "best" way to learn something new (ideally for free too). Right now, it's quite rudimentary, but I hope other people might find value in using this instead of sifting through ad-ridden Google search results.
