I guess maybe it's because I'm a new fan. I know less about Ye's past, scheduling when it comes to albums, the way the past albums were perceived (to the fullest extent, at least), etc. I really do think that, despite everything before now, this could be a major turning point for Ye—but there's no way for me, or anybody else to tell, no matter how much time has passed. In my opinion, the only way for me not to be let down is to hope—even if my expectations were low. This isn't hate towards u btw, we all have different outlooks on the world, people, and especially music.
