Hey, that's a nice [THING YOU DO FOR PERSONAL PLEASURE], be a real shame if somebody were to [CONVINCE YOU TO MONETIZE IT, TRANSFORMING YOUR RELATIONSHIP INTO AN OBLIGATION AND ROBBING YOU OF JOY]

I cooked a bunch of meatloaves for a family vacation and my family was saying "you could sell these to people" and like No I made them for YALL also "industrial food prep" is nothing like "cooking for family" lol

It's depressing because "people would pay for these!" is obviously intended as a compliment but it's also such a bleak way to view the world.
