They ever ask you about your repetitive gap on your resume?

Own your own consulting firm which helps this occur anyway.

But it was pre-Covid the last time I made this work, I finally got in with the idea of steady jobs - they pay you like, $2k every couple weeks just to sit in a little room all day... ok I can doomscroll in a different place for a while if you're going to pay my bills

No because the last time I worked a job that that a proper interview process was over 15 years ago.

These days interviews mostly go like this for me:
"This is what we expect from you; does this sound like the kind of job you'd like? " I say "yes" and then a week or two later I'm working. The hardest part is landing the interview. On average it takes about 200-300 applications before I get a single one.

Well that's what the job market is like now, so if yours pays well It'd be best to stick with it.
