    It makes art production and consumption more accessible to the non-wealthy, this is very true.

    But, and I know this is going to be controversial, but what if human creativity and/or human evaluations of creative works are just not as advanced or special as we would like to believe.

    And what if, by making art production/appreciation more accessible, we’re less monetarily devaluing art as much as removing unnecessary exclusivity.

    This is not to say I don’t think artists are valuable. I just think we muddy the whole concept of value by prioritising financial value and forcing people to produce financial value so they can live.
