If either I or someone else benefits from it. That's it!

Evaluating it based on the money it makes is a recipe for disappointment.

Seeing a PR is always nice. That tells me someone is finding a use for it and is invested enough to help make it better.

I quickly abandon something if I have no use for it. Contributors will tell me if I should keep something around
