I am not saying that you are wrong as well. My point is, people should decide for themselves when to make better storage spaces. You shouldn't force them(even mildly) with words like: 'people usually strive'. It's a natural process. People tend to leave hobbies due to the fact that they can't better themselves or don't want it. I think enjoyment comes first. And then comes the strive for perfection. There are people who do the same thing over and over again, without any striving for perfection as a hobby. They think of it as a hobby, and they are perfectly happy. Who are we to tell them how they should enjoy themselves?
My original statement was for those who associate hobbies with doing nothing at all to improve them. "While people can write how they want, I am however confused why a lot of draw parallels that if it is a hobby it's okay or even expected to leave things half-assed" The accent was not on perfection at all. It was on the lack of pride.
Hobby works shouldn't be equivalent to "eh it's a work by hobbyist there are no expectations here."
And yes it is a natural process. not stagnation. Process implies change. Once again not all the way to perfection as I've mentioned multiple times. but change in general. Little things, small things, at whatever pace you are comfortable with.
People should be proud of their work. they should strive for better. If they aren't, honestly they are here as a job - to exchange their stories for patreons. Or they write to achieve validation. Both of these are fine, but they aren't really hobbies either.
