Haters are gonna hate<\/h3>\n

Let’s face it, we’re never going to make everyone happy.<\/p>\n

No matter what we create\u00a0or how we choose to live our life, there will always be somebody out there who doesn’t like what we do.<\/p>\n

We can’t afford\u00a0to\u00a0water down our art\u00a0in order to make people like us more.<\/p>\n

Those who end up liking what we do will become our fans, our audience, and maybe someday our paying customers. Those who don’t like what we do, will eventually move on to something else.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean that we should ignore any kind of feedback from our audience, it just\u00a0means that it’s impossible to make everyone happy or\u00a0try to\u00a0guess what other people want.<\/p>\n

Our job is to create<\/h3>\n

It’s not our job as creative artists to try to make people like us. Our job is to simply find our own path and then do\u00a0the best we can with what we have to give.<\/p>\n
