Comment on Gonna be a whole generation of artists and musicians who think their art isn't good because of the way algorithms work online

This isn’t a new phenomenon, it’s been a problem for decades. The problem just looks different now, is all.

But here’s the thing. The best artists don’t make art for the attention, they make art for themselves and other people just appreciate it as well. So those artists aren’t going to give up, because it was never about the fame for them.

I imagine this commercial/personal art dichotomy has existed ever since the first time someone paid for art. Like how there’s always been folk music played around campfires in contrast to the operas and orchestras where the local lord’s funding goes.

  Also the “people these days aren’t going to want to make art unless they can commercialize it” sentiment.
  
  For as long as there has been art, doomsayers have been complaining that they’ve lived through the last of it to be produced.
