What do you mean by 'fail'?

If you like something and make a blog about it, well, if there are others interested, they will read it. If not, they won't. Seems like nice contributions to me.

A 'Commodore 64' has basically zero commercial value, but a super cool fun hobby thing to do. Seems like you're very successful in making cool stuff to me.

From a 'business perspective', your projects tend not to be commercial or business oriented, I wouldn't expect them to go in that direction. Maybe, but probably not.

If you solve a problem for a business that's willing to pay you money, well that's a business. You'll need to get out in the world to find out what those problems are.

Otherwise, enjoy the journey of your frankly very cool looking projects.

You might want to find a project partner on the business side with some interesting ideas but you may not like it. Selling 'shoes' or 'delivering food' or 'optimising ad spend' is not always the funnest stuff to work on.
