You can still make art and have people enjoy it. It takes an exceptional work to be both popular and masterful (and of course lots of luck) but it's possible.

I guess I'm not a composer then, eh? I'm happy that one person has listened and enjoyed something I wrote, that's all I can wish for and it has been the case (I hope!) so I'm pretty OK with not being heard by millions or transcending time and space, blah blah.
Would it be nice that my pieces were played all over the world? Maybe. I can't speculate on something so far fetched at the moment, and I wouldn't know if that'd be good at all since I'd be typecast into whatever gets played more often, which I probably wouldn't have any say on.
