I created <i>Video Hub App</i> and sell about 100 copies at $5 each (originally for $3.50 four years ago at launch). Had no audience, just shared it on Reddit a bit, on some forums, AlternativeTo, and a few random places (never paid). Sold over 4,000 copies in the last 4 years - probably with help of luck (some people wrote reviews of the app) and also probably because people search for "porn hub" as "video hub". https://videohubapp.com/ - and it's open source - https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App.

I think this is missing the "to fix annoyances, remove frustrations, save time" bullet point. That's basically all my own one-person business does (https://lunar.fyi/), it allows people to add adaptive brightness on external monitors, turn off individual monitors from the keyboard etc. Things that are simply frustrating to do daily without software help, either because the monitor buttons are hard to press, options hidden under a lot of menus, or a multi-step process is needed. And people are paying for it, even though it doesn't help them make money, it doesn't educate or entertain them, and it definitely doesn't help them sell anything.
