    Sorry, I was not trying to make it out like you said that. Just generally that people are so obsessed with money it has perverted their view of art. Art is not about making money even if a few people successfully do this. It is about expression.

    Trying to make art about money is a perversion which can be seen on platforms like Spotify where artists now pay more than streamers to get their music heard. This is not art/expression, it is commercialization.

    While I am not against artist trying to sell their works, I am against corporations stealing and taking the lions share of the profits. Think musicians who don’t own their works or graphic artists that regularly get ripped off by corporations.

    Corporations are so addicted to greed they are even trying to cut out the small portion of profits given to artists with AI and all signs seem to indicate they are going to be wildly successful pushing slop without any human artists.

    This, of course, is not the end of art by any means.
