"SEO-driven businesses are super fun to work on and run"
Until they're not.
I think this is true when you run one of these as a hobby and you look it as getting something for nothing. If you make your livelihood doing it and Google changes something your whole life can change for the worse in a heartbeat. Then you're totally helpless. It's the exact opposite of fun.

I'm not quitting my day job for this stuff in case the faucet gets shut off one day. Some people take the risk, but I could never sleep at night knowing I could randomly wake up one day in the proverbial black hole of "page 2" search results.
