Not everything needs to be a business!

  Sometimes it would be nice if you could just break even though. Particularly for these AI projects.

  If there’s one thing I learnt from HN it’s how many people can’t comprehend this. Is it a byproduct of growing up in a very transactional or selfish environment?

    I'm almost sure it is. I don't understand it personally, and it feels like grifting to me.

    Yes. First being a YouTube creator became a business, then twitch, tiktok, twitter. GenZ basically grew up with everything being/becoming a business "opportunity". Making money is the goal for "creators", to the point where ads have become normalized and not having a sponsor is leaving money on the table.
