   Reminder: Your creative projects HAVE WORTH even if (maybe even ESPECIALLY if) they aren't monetised in any way. Don't give up on drawing, writing, composing etc. just because the corporate internet has turned creative expression into a nightmarish numbers game! Don't give in to despair about AI either!
   
   Billions must try!

     @druid Also avoided using the term monetising because for me that's too linked to youtube's "Hey, now you can get an undisclosed cut from the ad revenue we make on your stuff".

     @druid Yeah and nothing wrong with that, just doesn't means that all art needs to be commercialized, and it has no relation with whether it's good or not.
     
     Like most have heard of writers, composers, painters, … who weren't appreciated in their times or barely made a living, and now their works are huge classics.
     
     Similarly we've probably all seen soulless "art" that's just purely for the money.

     @lanodan So long as we live in this disgusting system, commercialising our artistic output will continue to be the only way to MAKE A LIVING FROM ART sadly

     @lanodan I used it deliberately to invoke that sense of disgusting suited greed lmao, sometimes I use "consumer" or "content" or "engagement" or other bullshit speak for the same reason. It gets people in the mood for ecoterrorism* more easily.

     @Kagekokoro @lanodan Sure, why not: You're wrong because commercialisation is only as old as commercialism. If you want an overview of the historical relationship between art and provision, it was only really under mercantilism that art started to become a matter of needing wealthy patrons to be sustainable.
     
     In the medieval world and prior, art was a matter of the everyday (well, when it wasn't being repressed lol.) A bard or a minstrel could make a living travelling around, for example. In a world with no recording and no printing, there was a value to the individual.
     
     If you want to go further back, life seems to have been pretty fucking good for artists in the classical era, doesn't it?
     
     I don't think you really made a point, I think you just saw anticapitalist words and shat out a "human nature" nugget, which is why I called it a fedpost lol

     @Kagekokoro @lanodan I know your meme faggot, I'm just not playing your game. Go eat Jesus' foreskin and suck the blood out like a Mohel, it definitely counts as a Eucharist.
