As I have no chance of commercial success, I never have to accommodate commercial interests in anything I do. I can make music which disregards the demands of the market, something which becomes difficult for any artist who does achieve “success”. Such “success” immediately leads to demands from both the industry and much of the audience to repeat the exact same thing, but somehow make it new — a task which is usually impossible. But it used to be necessary just to keep going. It’s not anymore.
