Learn to create, or learn to deal with the hatred. You do not get to have it both ways.
Of all the things in the world you could choose to do, creating is something that comes with some of the most abundant and accessible teaching resources available. Nearly every artist/writer/crafter has put out some tutorial or another. Millions of them. In every format imaginable. Those who don’t make tutorials are frequently taking on the job of directly teaching people. We want you to learn, to join us in making things. We want you to feel the joy of making something. You were not gatekept from this. You chose the easy way out, and then got mad when people who put the work in said No, we don’t like that you steal from us. We don’t like that you steal and profit from our work. We don’t like that you took our jobs with the theft of our work. And no, you aren’t a part of our community because you aren’t actually creating anything.
You don’t get it both ways. You don’t get to steal from us and be welcomed and loved. But you can still make a choice. A choice that benefits you, and everyone in the community. You can choose to learn how to create. I promise you the reward that you’re looking for, the dopamine hit of attention and completion of work that you’re trying to get. It exists. It’s actually easier to reach than you think. And we will help you every step of the way.
