I use tech to do non-tech things. There's a huge demand for that.

In my case I help people settle in Germany. It's just a website plus a few widgets that support the content. There's just enough tech to scratch an itch, but without the meetings, the sprints and the other corporate annoyances.

I started the website 7 years ago out of frustration with local bureaucracy, and it became my full time job 3 years ago.

I don't think that I was tired of tech. I was just tired of office life in general. I much prefer the chaotic, unstructured nature of self-employment.

How does your website generate revenue? I'm assuming it more of a online service platform for new immigrants rather than a immigration blog or guide?

Affiliate links. Immigrants need certain things. I'm affiliated with pretty much all available options, so I can be honest without torpedoing my income.

I'm assuming it's the website linked in your HN profile. Well done, it looks really nice, it seems quite useful for immigrants without being just ad-focused.
