People can do similar things on YouTube (ok, some of those are more sensational than anything of substance) so why not art? So many people needs 2 or more jobs to survive and it's just not right.
Great piece. Imo, this slow, calculated, devaluation of creative endeavors that you reference is in fact an intentional psychological attack on human creativity and human culture, and thus it is an attack on human emotion, human memory and therefore human life. This cannot be accidental, as art is always the tool for revolt and revelation, the spark which motivates real change in society, which makes it the enemy of the status quo. I appreciate this piece tremendously as it renders the problem clearly, along with many repressive assumptions that artists have been conditioned to accept as normal by the misery-industrial-complex. Bravo, great work, thank you!
SLART, this is F*cking Brilliant and a hard-hitting manifesto! YES!
Thank you, it was written in pure frustration!!!! Grrrr 🐯
Beautiful references, beautifully argued, case strongly made--your pure frustration is very pure indeed!

I’m so glad you agree. Yes, it’s so true.
Yes! Gatekeepers be damned.
