I can very much relate to how you feel about the flow of fixing bugs. Have you considered finding bugs? There's already a thriving freelance ecosystem around that. Hacker one / bug crowd etc. Once you report them you may be able to suggest ways for companies to fix the bugs and possibly get hired as a contractor to that end.

I have, but (as mentioned in another comment), my passion lies with investigating and fixing known bugs (not so much finding the unknowns).
