I don't remember where I've read that but I remember seeing that creativity starts to decrease when you are getting paid for it. And it decreases even more if you are getting paid less. While when you are doing it for free creativity remains at the same level over time
- fireattack 6y ago> remains at the same level over time Probably true for the hobbyist, but I'd argue some professionals may do the activity more by orders of magnitude, which would affect their creativity, paid or not.
- mkl95 6y agoI wonder what the results are when you are being paid really well, I suspect some people would have levels of creativity similar to doing it for free and others would lose all their motivation. There are people like John Carmack who could have retired many years ago, yet they are still creating stuff, and other people like Notch (Minecraft) lost their creativity the moment they got "fuck you money".
