Mehhh...not really lol. Monetizing stuff doesn't make stuff more fun. It just introduces capitalist cognitive distortions.
Wow then explain the past fifteen years of video hames
I'd settle for being able to monetize ANY of my hobbies. Being able to sell (and live off) something I made because I felt like it would be great.
How about….. do hobbies because you ENJOY them.
No I am a soilless husk who doesn't even remember fun
Honestly, I have a hard time staying interested in hobbies due to this.
Just so hard wired to think of expression as having some capital, either financial or social.
Any time I have some thought, I am asking.. Hmm is there value in this? I understand expression for expression's sake but we are social animals in the end. And that need for validation taints it.
I grapple with it. But getting better. Have some private hobbies and slowly pecking at them.
