I was going to agree to some of your points, like that there's not just one way to do things and that everyone has their own paths and maybe some people should open their minds, and also not worry so much about how others are achieving their goals. If someone wants to draw fanart and that leads to enough fans who'll be interested in their original art, that's great (it's what I've done)! If someone is sad they're not getting enough views on their original art, they deserve a nudge to let them know their art is fine and they'll get more interest if they tell the world their stories for their OCs as well! And that not everyone has to go to college to achieve their goals in live, but some people also really benefit from it so it can go either way, depending on you as a person!

But your tone is so off-putting and condescending. Like you're making fun of the people who didn't do it the way you did or you take joy in upsetting people with how you're achieving your 'greatness' ("lol I piss off art school kiddies by not going to art school and still being awesum!!"). I get being annoyed with other people's attitudes towards certain things, but the way your comment reads is so mean-spirited it's hard to empathize with you at all.
