You my recent acquaintance are a funny, funny man. People do what people do, if they happen to do something it means that it works for them. If you do something it means it works for you.
Now I don't even subscribe to the idea of "best" as a concept, but I won't get into that here, too much headache not enough benefit for me. That said, within the conventional idea of "best" there is no correlation between what's popular and what is the best.
Wonderful example provided via the late Nikola Tesla, all, and I do mean ALL modern electrical and magnetic theory is based on his work. Everyone thought he was crazy. Everyone was right. But he thought of all of the best ways to do things, and then proved that they could be done. All conventional power generation in North america (and I'd imagine most of the world) would be far less effective without his work, we also wouldn't have AC (alternating current), or maybe we'd just have a much more arcane form of it, I'm not sure.
I think you give people in General a bit too much credit, or perhaps power over yourself and your opinions and actions.
I'm not going to say "do this" "don't do this" or "you should think this way", I would however suggest learning to trust yourself a tid bit more, and that usually only comes with taking risks with yourself.
Just a suggestion, now excuse me while I go find someone to troll.
As an edit, I forgot to mention that A: while he was totally insane, and ostracized by society for much of his life, in the end he had the "best" ways to do things B: people didn't exactly warm up to his ideas quickly, his own idol Edison had his work slammed, discredited (ie: he paid people to say it would never work)and even sabotaged at some points.C: Despite doing more for modern science then Einstein x 3 he died a penniless old man, completely along, and had all his files seized by the G-men of Mr Hoover.
The current HARRP system being experimented with in Alaska is allegedly based on several of his works, most notably the "death ray" (or particle beam). I'm nore presumung to state that it works or doesn't, I neither know nor care, and I'd rather not dip into conspiracy stuff right now. Sufficed to say there's a US military base in Alaska that seems to be experimenting with the manipulation of the earth's magnetic.
