What's your opinion? Is Claude correct - or should I shift direction?

I've been a succesful 16-yr freelance writer until those glorious LLMs displaced me.
Clients included small to prominent emerging tech companies and agencies in 26 countries across 16 industries.

I was recommended to turn my attention to (1) UAE (2) S. Asia (3) E. Europe

Claude counsels:

1. Dubai — highest-value, best-fit opportunity, least competitive for your specific niche.
2. US/UK — biggest overall market, now selecting for specialists like you as the commodity layer gets automated away. Worth continued, more targeted effort (direct pitches to boutique thought-leadership agencies, not job boards).
3. France/Germany/Central Europe — deprioritize. Not a strong match for your specialty right now.

(It suggested I ignore E. Europe).
