Why would you care if your projects are upvoted?

When I build side projects, I just care about learning a new language, framework, library etc...I couldn't care less if it got me upvotes on here or anywhere for that matter.

Well, I want to be successful the same way Mark is successful, I want to make money. Having money I can then work on even more ambitious projects. Isn't that what we all want to do?

Getting thousands of people to look at and/or comment on your project is one proxy and one first step. You have to get people interested on what you are working on or else you will never make money off of them.
