I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about and that builds on my point. There is no singular "fandom" for which to pay forward.

My experience was not the same as yours. I have not built any amazing skills from talking about bands with my friends and drawing pretty boys. If I decided one day to sell some prints of those drawings I would have nothing to "pay forward", I have no debt to my friends for simply being my fandom friends. No one taught me anything, my friends and I just doodle together sometimes.

There are plenty of people like this outside your circle. There are people younger than me, who have no idea about what I've been doing, or my history. We are separate groups, with separate cultures despite all being "fandom". They own nothing to me as people not part of my community.

Even to people which may have learned from me (I've had beginner artist copy my art), if they they then sold future art with their new skills, I would not care for the reasons you do (I do think that over commercialization is bad, but I don't care about hypothetical "debt".)
