For me, as soon as I think of monetizing something I just lose my interest in it straight away.

I don't know why it happens. I love programming, and I just put it all up on GH for free. I've actually got a few 'side-projects' which actively burn money instead of making money.

I do them purely for fun and learning, and every time I think of making money from it, it turns into a job and obligations. Now if people don't like something I build - I feel no obligation to fix it. :)
