RE: AI virtually killed one of my income streams. Here is how.

True, true.
When I was starting with stock photography, I put a lot of thinking into it. Should I, as you said, go into that direction, read the agencies' emails telling what customers are looking for, and producing such stuff?

I decided then for myself I will shoot whatever I like and post the quality photos and ... it is what it is. If there are some sells, good, if not, it's not the end of the world.
However, then I was having much more event gigs. Today, it's much harder for me, I feel I may soon reach that crossroad I'll have to decide what direction to take for the next years...

у меня такое ощущение, что с перекрёстка я никуда и не уходил ))
вначале была цель освоить сам предмет съёмки, техническую его составляющую. Это во мне говорил инженер. Съёмка, обработка ... мне нравятся эти процессы сами по себе. Сейчас я уже не думаю, как сделать тот или иной кадр. Как водитель за рулём, всё получается практически машинально.
Но теперь есть проблема . а что дальше? Что я хочу? И это теперь самое сложное :D

Yes, these too! :)
With me, probably with you too, there is another dilemma. I am good at one specific area of expertise but I like to shoot different stuff. Maybe I should've kept photography as hobby only :) Never too late, right :)))

Thinking of it, this may be the only true freedom we have in our hands - the freedom to choose which road to take ;)
