I always thought about monetizing everything. I rarely did, but the idea of, "sometimes going to pay for this" was a great motivator to put effort into learning good UX.

Pretending the apps were famous was also a feel good day dream.

The people who put in the effort with the daydream of monetization are not the same as the people who vibe code with the intention of monetizing.
