Writing without knowing where you're going makes for s----y fiction. That's a reader experience - not writing. Stories are told because there's a point to telling the story. Having a point means you know where you're going.

No he says he is in On Writing. Lee Child, George RR Martin, Hemnigway, Poe...were all pantsers.
I just finished my first crome novel which my 7 figure author mentor, also a pantser, called very gifted writing. What are your bona fides?
And the author of the book stated is also a 7 figure pantser.
"Stephen King is a little more severe with his pro-pantsing philosophy: “Outlines are the last resource of bad fiction writers who wish to God they were writing masters’ theses.”
