In the grand scheme of things, I guess it's good to have an impact, even an indirect one, but come on, we're talking about human beings here.
Even if someone were to do it out of sheer passion without a care for financial gains, I'm sure they'd still appreciate basic validation and recognition. That's like the cheapest form of payment you could give for someone's work.
I don't understand why "actually, you're egotistical if you dare to desire recognition for stuff you put love and effort to" is such a common argument in those discussions. People are treated like machines that should swallow their pride and sense of self for the greater good, while on the other end, there is a (not saying YOU in particular did it) push to humanize LLMs.
