Never give up on what you love. I've been making music and running a youtube channel for years and most of my subs refuse to support me, either via Patreon or by simply buying a 2 dollar album. It makes me upset and makes want to quit all the time, but I refuse to quit.
I simply refuse.
You should refuse as well. There's no reason to let unkindness win against you, just keep doing what you love no matter what anyone says.
Sono determinato a vivere.
