Jake naively and brashly tries to explore some aspect of himself for personal growth...
The one thing that I always remember about Jake Sisko was an episode where he was trying to hide something from his dad, and at the end of the episode, dear old dad catches him trying to teach a young Ferengi how to read.
Jake ended up being my least disliked Star Trek child actor. He wasn't always great, but he is miles above Wesley.
Jake and Nog felt like they were written to be actual teenagers growing up. When they get in over their heads, it is believable. And when they grew up, they became fleshed out characters.
I think I preferred Wesley during Jake’s “Rory Gilmore” years
Jake = Miles/Wesley
Jakes * Wesley = Miles
Everyone in-universe feels about Jake the way that everyone out of universe feels about Wesley.
