Why does "do what you love" have to refer to work? I love playing music. I'm not particularly skilled at it yet, as I'm still learning how, but it's great. I don't make any money doing it, I just do it in my spare time. But when I'm doing it, I'm doing what I love. And I'm not devaluing the work of others who do it better than me or for money. I love listening to the music of others (both for pay and for free, both of which I do frequently). This article makes zero sense to me, and seems like a lot of projection of the author's idea about the subject onto people who mean something different by the phrase.
