As someone who is ashamed to have created zero fandom content in about a decade, I think people who do create content should feel proud to share it, even when it's not much. Even bad content is way cooler than no content.

That said, the one place where I do agree with you is exchanges. If someone is a novice fanartist who just isn't very good (yet), I think it's kind of rude for them to give their recipient poor quality, half-baked fanart. I mean, I would never publicly shame someone for doing it, but I privately think it's cringey and a faux pas whenever I see it done. (If it's extremely meticulously crafted fanart where you can clearly see the artist has spent a lot of time and effort, then I generally think that's ok, even if the art isn't very good. But a lot of the time novice fanartists have a tendency of phoning it in - maybe because they just haven't learned how to work in greater detail yet - and that's where I find it kind of rude and cringey.)

This. It's super simple to scroll past "bad" fanart. (I quote bad, because I've seen a lot of fanart that I would consider bad because I don't like the style at ALL, but that doesn't objectively make it bad.)

"Even bad content is way cooler than no content"

Have to disagree there. Also have to disagree that "cool" is in any way a sensible or helpful adjective.

Think what you want, but making stuff is cool. It harms no one, brings enjoyment to at least one person, and helps the creator to improve their abilities. You can call it whatever the heck you want. I'm going to continue to call it cool, because that works for me.
