I think you find art as you describe it in galleries not in pixel art collections.

And do we all actually care that much? No otherwise it would not be a breadless job.

We don't value artists they struggle financially and most do contract work and not their art.

I have a wide definition of “art”. Also, I think many of us do care, and those who don’t care perhaps should ask themselves more often why they find themselves appreciating something and not something else.

True, but I also know artists who earned money from commissions. Unfortunately, I also know business owners who would commission such works previously but now would rather pay $5 to a big corporation for an image to be generated. Considering those models are based exactly on tons of those underpaid artists’ work, scraped without consent and licensing, it’s not a very great look.

I think taylor swift is doing fine.

Its not that we don't financially value art as a society, its just that we do it very unequally.

You know exactly that I did not mean the 0.01% of artists.

We do it aligned as a mass phenomenon.

But still Taylor for sure makes good music but how many people really pay for art?

And then also art from a specific artist.
