Pointing out the flaws and helping me improve my craft is a great idea. But, just because there are flaws shouldn't all of a sudden deem my music as nothing great and catchy. For example, I could take a powerful portion of a song by Michael Jackson, repeat it to drag it on for too long, and I could add some flaws to it such as crackles, pops, and make it low quality sound.

Even though it's just a short tune of MJ's music, isn't a full song, and has many flaws, it would still be great, catchy, and would still convey powerful, memorable, profound emotion. Even if MJ himself created just a short tune with some flaws and shared that, it would still be great.

This is what I mean here when I say that people need to appreciate the greatness and catchiness of music because I should be able to share short tunes that have flaws and still have them deemed as great, catchy tunes. Making a fully crafted, flawless song would, therefore, be something completely optional.

Sure, making a full song without flaws would make my music much better. But it's optional and isn't necessary to make my music great. As long as my music meets the minimal requirements to convey its greatness and catchiness, then that should be good enough for my music to be great and catchy.

It's not a case of 'flaws', it's the fact that your music (at least that which you've shared here) isn't 'great', or 'catchy', it's rudimentary. That's not a 'flaw', it just means you've barely started. Get on with learning some music theory, then write a proper melody.

If it's good enough for you then you should not give a flying fart what anyone else thinks.

There are many basic, simple tunes out there that are great and catchy though.  So, just because my tunes are rudimentary doesn't mean they're not great and catchy.

My whole goal in composing is to share music that other people would really love.  But, I suspect people are having too high of a standard which is preventing them from appreciating the greatness and catchiness of my tunes.  Therefore, I'm asking others to lower their standards so they can appreciate my tunes.  I think such a lowered standard is a reasonable standard.

So you want the entire world to adapt to your view of what's 'great' then, so you don't have to put in any effort to get there.
 
Call me cynical, but I suspect that may not happen.

Man, you've posted some ridiculous stuff on here but this one takes the proverbial cake. I'm thinking you've worn this handle out. How many have you burned through now? Four, five?

Let me try to illustrate my point here.  I'm quite sure many people have listened to one of Beethoven's songs which begins with that famous and catchy:

"Bom bom bom booooooooooom.  Bom bom bom boooooooooom."

Even though this portion of his song is just 4 notes repeated, it's still great.  Of course, it isn't just the 4 notes repeated.  There is also proper chords and whatnot to go along with that repeated 4-note melody.  Now, even if Beethoven stopped there and decided to only share that, it would still be something great.  

That repeated 4-note melody Beethoven has chosen obviously wasn't some basic, lame, mediocre tune.  Anybody could choose a 4-note melody like Beethoven.  But it takes a great artist to choose the right 4 notes that conveys something great.  

For example, some lame, techno music producer could choose some 4-note melody to repeat and make into a fully crafted tune.  But it wouldn't be anywhere near as good as Beethoven's 4-note craft.  

I don't think I'm the equivalent of some lame composer choosing any old notes on the keyboard.  I truly think I'm making an excellent choice of notes that I have yet to make into a full craft.  These fully crafted tunes should be something very good and catchy.

How about you don't and say you didn't?

Fine.  If you don't want to read what I just said, then don't.  If you ever change your mind though, then fully read and respond to it.
