We all try to make better decisions - I get that. But why has popularity become the primary indicator of what is good/right for so many people? I wonder how many creators abandon unpopular projects that someone could find useful.

Every small thing you put out in the world has the potential for momentous outcomes - that's what the butterfly effect is. Granted, every one of those outcomes is not guaranteed to make you wealthy or popular, but it can have an impact on someone, somewhere which is far beyond our scope of understanding.

A short video that I uploaded over a decade ago describing how to fix an issue with an "unpopular" model of a router still continues to get a few hundred views and a couple of 'thank you' comments each year.

And that is why we all must keep farting in the wind. Because the (proverbial) wind might just be one giant emergent collection of farts - who knows?
