You live in a world driven in large part by marketing and sales. It's not a worldview, it's facts.
I am not making any money from "other people's dreams. I sell a product which helps companies make their sites sell better, retain users, and satisfy their users's needs.
Your definition of building "something" other than a digital product is quite interesting, thank you for sharing your view.
Personally, I like to think that I help companies thrive, which means they can hire more people, create more jobs, enable their communities to grow. If that's not impact, I don't know what is. My blogging about it has already inspired many people to pursue their side projects - and I'm very happy about that.
Not really sure what you are getting at here... at all.
I get the positivity aspect here, but my rant is about meta-products marketed to other “builders” - there is just something unsettling about the idea of making money from other people’s dreams before they have even started. “Build in the open” is nice when you are actually building something.
