Top 10 Reasons why Authors Self-Publish

After reading a dozen or so interviews with indie authors, I was curious about what the chatbots had to say on why writers self-publish. I asked a few - their answers were similar but ChatGPT was the most articulate. They all agreed that wanting to have control over the process was the most important reason. 

Where I got confused or maybe they did was with the idea that it costs less to self-publish than to be published traditionally. I'll have to go back and ask about that one. 

And ChatGPT offered two I hadn't really thought of . Publishing niche or uncomventional content. And being able to continuously update and improve the book after publication. 
Overall, I'm floored. What do you think?
