The flip side is when you see someone who has never interacted with a community before come in and drop a big announcement written in Claudish about some new port they just released (with a ko-fi link already set up of course), you kinda feel like they're the ones chasing fame and fortune.

In the modding community I'm most active in, counter-strike, I have seen someone come in and literally ask if there was money in it and if not what game would be best to make mods for to make some money.
