It really is just so fucked. Creating anything under capital always has the idea of "how much money does it make?" hanging over it. If you do something for fun and you're really good at it, you'll be obligated by society to turn it into a career for profit, and you quickly lose enthusiasm for the idea when you have to constantly compromise between the "I want to make it my way" and "I need to make it in a way that sells." You can't do anything creative without capital turning it empty and hollow and meaningless.
