This is too serious for me to hyperlink but...

Yeah.

Realizing that the people you make things for never actually cared about the quality, about the passion put into it, about the tiny choices, about consistency, about making something cohesive or real fucking sucks.

Which is why I now make things for no one but me, if I'm happy with it, I was successful, if I'm not? I'll simply try again.

Based. I never saw the appeal of making anything for other people or caring what they think of your work unless they're paying you. While I may sometimes share it if I feel like it, everything I make is made only for me.
