there's an inherent narcissim in being a creative - which the pleasure of others is antithetical to. by discarding the performative requirement to be given recognition or wealth by others, creation is allowed to be fulfilling in and of itself.
I think it's not bad to have some recognition for your work. But society skews too much in the direction of everything needing to be monetised to have any value. There's too much focus on making content, building audiences and monetising. Once you get too deep into that it stops being fun.
Considering how personal art can be, the societal idea of value equating to moneymaking potential is damaging to it, I think. Reminds me of when people's responses to when they think you're good at a hobby is "oh, you can monetize this!" Far too material thinking for something which, to me, is far more nebulous than that, and for which defining worth by capital does it a disservice.
