willing to pay for this

Capitalism. You shouldn't strive to profit off doing things you enjoy. The profit motive IS the problem.

    Sounds like a win-win to me

    Only if you're lucky. I loved programming. Used to do it all the time. Got a job doing it, and it's just exhausting now. So much gets caught up in the process: money to survive, meeting other people's deadlines and goals, etc. It kills the enjoyment.

    Of course, you'd rather have food or shelter. And why would you not have food and shelter? Oh, because society deems that if you don't work, you don't live.

    And don't knock masturbating. It's a lot of fun. So is programming with no real goal. Sometimes you enjoy the journey, not the destination.

    Or maybe you shouldnt be telling people how to live their lives? Even fans of communism have dictatorial tendencies.
