Absolutely wrong. I've had multiple I've kept going for years because I've created them for specific use-cases that literally nobody else touches, and I've run and contributed to multiple huge public projects. Never once did I ever think of abandoning the former because nobody else was using them.
This sounds like musing of someone who is new to the scene and thinks it works like social media influencer BS.
It does not.

Because what you are working on is USEFUL. Gtfo. Create cause you love it not cause its a job. We have those and usually dont want an additional one.

I think you misunderstand the word "self" :
noun
plural selves
a person or thing referred to with respect to complete individuality:
one's own self.
a person's nature, character, etc.:
his better self.
personal interest.
Philosophy:
the ego; that which knows, remembers, desires, suffers, etc., as contrasted with that known, remembered, etc.
the uniting principle, as a soul, underlying all subjective experience
Sounds to me like you're more interested in the ego portion of self.
I've spent years doing things for myself, my friends, my family, not from ego, but because I believe the things I've done are important (either to me or to my friends/family), and that I'm the person that can do those things.
And if anyone else has found what I've done to be useful, then I'm pleased to find that so, and consider it my little bit of contributing to the world, and making someone else's life a little easier. I don't need to know this from anyone, I'm just glad if it's happened.
