Yeah, don't let the naysayers get you down. They're like little, yappy dogs that don't understand anything but barking at the world. I couldn't begin to list all of the kind folks who have made it possible for me to make and enjoy 3D art. The programmers who write a lot of the free software I use, the artists who create free content for me to use, the great folks here at R'osity that provide a place for me to show off the little things I make and that give me an opportunity to interact with other wonderful people, and all the other artists that are willing to take the time to share their experience, insights, and suggestions. Most of the good people are quiet, that's all. But I feel confident we're in the majority.

Keep the faith, and keep your chin up. Being creative and sharing that gift with the world is right at the top of the list of good things to do in this life, IMO. Let the dogs yap, and pay 'em no mind.
