One way to do it have the hobby be something that’s entirely yours (you carve intricate models of Vietnamese railway cays say) and someone else sells them, almost without any communication as to “what is selling etc”.

Never take orders.

The hard part is finding an agent who will not try to convince you to do things to increase profits.

But yes, some artists have famously gone through intermediaries such that there isn’t a feedback loop possible.
