I didn't say it was definitively worthless, I said it's only worth what people will pay for it. How do you still not get that?
Did you know that gasoline used to be a worthless by-product that the refiners threw out? And look, now we're at war over it and the price is high. Something that you think is so valuable right now was worthless at one time. Take a gallon jug of gasoline back in time and try to convince people that it's worth their entire year's salary. Good luck with that.
Worth can't be some fantasy, it has to be grounded in reality. You might bust your ass working on something but it's only worth what you can sell it for. Not everyone is willing to buy what you're selling sometimes, ya know?
Do you think pirating music is really that big of a deal?
