Everything you've mentioned has definitely motivated traders to pursue trading despite of the risks and the market volatility it has to offer.
Definitely, all of those, the feeling of success and good trades and accuracy of each trade that we make, that's what the majority of us are motivated for.
And as long as there are people who claimed to have succeeded in trading and are now enjoying the comfort of their lives, then most likely a lot of aspiring traders will continue to risk in trading until success comes into fruition.
I am seeing a lot but those that are real successful won't put themselves into any public appearance or even on social media. Many of these traders were successful people because of trading and their lives were changed. It's just sad that the others have gone south and they have other motivation for doing it, it's still related to trading but guess what, they've became trading gurus overnight and won't trade anymore because enrolment classes fee are the ones that became their bread and butter.
