You sound elitist about your original work that won't sell more than ten copies.

Cry more into your shitty knitting or whatever. Hope your yarn collection ends up too tangled to use and is always one shade off forever.

Personally, I'd rather someone sell 10 copies of something that's completely original, over selling 100 of something that's ripping off another work. Want to write fanfic/create art of known properties? Absolutely! Have fun! Make a bit of money off selling some awesome fanwork? Sure, why not?
But demanding to make a proper wage off something that is already copyrighted by another person, sorry, that's unfair to the original artist/writer.

Fanartist here and 100% agreed, I laugh every time someone gets shut down for selling fanart.

I do tons of fanart but you won't ever catch me trying to sell any of it, it's all free for whoever wants to view it because it's not my intellectual property to be making money on.

Another artist. And YES. I don't sell fanart. I don't condemn everyone for that. But I am not selling anything that isn't my original work.

AYRT Thanks for the laugh! My yarn collection IS tangled because about twenty years ago I figured out I’m hopeless with yarn and no one will take it off my hands until I untangle it. Which I do keep meaning to get around to.

You’re really sheltered though if you think anyone selling crafts is only selling then things. Most crafts have nothing to do with yarn. Some home based professional quilters may only sell 10-20 quilts a year but at prices that would make you cry and enough to cover at least half of not all of their family’s living expenses for the year. Lots of us crafters are able to diversify into digital products that bring us residuals. Digital embroidery files, sewing patterns, patterns of any medium really…the possibilities are only limited by imagination. Your imagination only stretches to knitting but go to any of the big shows and you’ll see at least five vendors with the most amazing purses, clothing, jewelry, furniture, home goods of every kind to include quilts and handmade service ware, custom stained glass services on offer, and yes, even some knitted scarves and sweaters. Humans have been making things for thousands of years and there are still plenty of us who can do it without constraining ourselves to only making bootleg Star Wars or MCU or anime merch.

Yet another DA

The comment you responded to was disdainful of fandom commercialization, but solidly informative. All this one added was vitriol.
