It’s the unrecognized but genius artist fallacy: many great artists were unknown and poor when they did their best work.

Therefore, since I am unknown and poor, I must be a great artist.

That’s not it at all. Almost all art is just quietly ignored. If people have strong feelings about your art then that’s a huge win.
