Photography - Business or hobby going into the future?

I feel I'm at a crossroads with whether to keep photography a hobby/occasional gig or pursue it more part-time.

I started shooting 2013 and have gone back and forth with whether to pursue business or not. I learned very quickly it was very special to me and I didn't want it to be tainted with the pressure of my sole income/feeding me and loved ones. I also realized I didn't like the business side (especially pressure from social media), props or intense portraiture but rather documentary, fine art, photojournalistic background. I simultaneously was realizing this as I was pursuing Art Therapy and then pivoted to Photojournalism in undergrad, which matters for the fact that it led me on the path of mostly communications roles. They've been great in that they have let me prioritize NOT having the pressure of putting food on the table with only photography and feel way more confident in the business side of everything with many orgs I've worked for. Also, because of it, I've done almost everything under the sun with photography and communications overall, and I still find myself after a decade loving it and still wanting to pursue it.

I tried to start a photo business in 2020 riiiight before we knew of the pandemic, so that failed. Tried starting one this past year with even bigger ambitions of traveling, galleries, workshops, etc. and am still active but my job situation juuuust changed to where it may not be possible again. That plus the fears of starting a business during intensifying climate collapse, fascism, AI, geopolitical tensions, etc. just makes me wonder if I need to go ahead and dissolve before I'm really in deep bad or stay the course as a means to keep at it and maintain stability should my job instability continue or worsen with the way the world is going.

I know this is a personal decision. I'm mostly giving context and ultimately curious of other perspectives on a. the practicality of starting a photo business right now? and b. things to consider to be prepared to navigate going forward? as it's clearly not the same landscape or market as it was in 2013 or 2020.

TLDR; Objectively, without fully knowing another's situation, is it realistic to begin a photography business right now or maintain as hobby with so much instability in the world? If yes, of course it will be hard, so what are items you suggest prioritize preparing for (such as AI)? If no, just no outright or hold off and things to consider if start at later date?

No harsh judgement or combative sentiments not related to the actual ask please. Simply getting different opinions.
