Part of making anything and telling the world about it is sticking your neck out. The absolute worst thing is making something that ends up having no impact.
When you do make something that garners some attention you need to realize that a lot of people will be jealous. Their only valid rebuttal would be to make something that is better than your thing.
People don't say these things to your face because on top of being jealous, they are also cowards. The fear that drives their life is the reason why they never make anything in the first place.
If you make things that are a bit more intelligent and refined you won't attract the kind of idiots who are gonna post a bunch of mindless crap on Internet message boards... but then you might have to deal with a very intelligent and refined review from a noted critic. But no worries, as Frank Zappa summed up brilliantly:
"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture."
