Ask HN: App Store Devs, Are you guys still motivated?

We now know that the vast majority of apps make a large loss. They are part of the long tail. Only a very small portion of apps make any sort of money and most of those investing in them still don't make enough money to quit their day job. If you count in opportunity loss, you might even say most of the winners still lost money.

Are you guys still motivated? If so, where does your motivation come from?

Edit: Minor corrections.
