Comment on [Rant] It's frustrating when models are ONLY priced with vendors in mind

Side rant: It’s annoying how the first thing EVERYONE says when seeing your prints is that “you could sell these!!”
Yeah, let me tell you about selling your own prints. Let me tell you all about that. There is way more complication and many more moving parts than anyone expects at first glance. Or, even, after a good second look.
Everybody thinks you need to find a way to monetize all your hobbies now. It’s “HuStLe cUlTuRe!!!” You have to make your own decision on that point. Do it because you want to, not because you expect to make any kind of money at it.
I’m doing it because I want to. You couldn’t stop me, even with a wall.

Agreed with ALL this.
People will just keep repeating it. Every. New. Print. “You could sell that!!” My coworkers can’t comprehend just enjoying a hobby for the sake of it.
(I’ve offered to print things at cost; they’re not repeating in a “I want one” kind of way).
