Well John, I think that if "what other people do" becomes more of an issue than what you do, it is a sign that you might need to find something to "refocus" your energies. That's what I found with things other people have been doing that slightly "steamed" me..
In my case it has been playing guitar again on whatever stages haven't been idled by the times, or turned into public begging platforms by people that work them for little or nothing, and being able to find some of the joy that has been chipped away by some of the things you mentioned.
I've found a TON of inspiration, material, and have just ordered the PG Music Brent Mason "program" What the heck. Gotten made with money I'll be making onstage tonight playing guitar! ( and some steel..)
Heck, who's to say that it might not be, for some guy or gal, getting an old Ricky, a Retro Epiphone tube amp, and revisiting some of the things done by Alvino Rey?
It's You that's important in all this.
