"Authors, artists, and even philosophers are much better off having a vey small number of fanatics behind them than a large number of people who appreciate their work. The number of people who dislike the work don't count - there is no such thing as the opposite of not buying your book, or the equivalent of losing points in a soccer game, and this absence of negative domain for book sales provides the author with a measure of optionality."
This sounds a lot like Kevin Kelly's One Thousand True Fans. Not inferring one copying the other only that when multiple people tell you something is true - follow their advice!
