I would understand "aha! I was just writing for the wrong audience! It wasn't that I was a bad writer!" We've all done that.
But "it was just the audience that inherently sucked all along" is blaming the audience for not responding, not analyzing what it was about the audience that was interested in something else, what that something else was, or what it was about what you gave them that didn't mesh with what they wanted to hear. Because plenty of people have lots of response in fandom too, by doing things other than what OP did.
Glad the OP's found success, but it sounds like misplaced blame to me.
