I used to think it was true, but with the rise of YouTube/SoundCloud/DeviantArt the internet I no longer think it’s true. Most people really don’t have that much interesting to say. From a social perspective I don’t think we are missing out on great art. People would be happier though.
- repolfx 8y agoNo? But all those sites are filled with great art of various sorts. The combination of easy publishing and relatively easy lives has created the sort of "millions of people being creative and doing art" that utopians always imagined.

- maxander 8y agoThere are some good artists in there, mixed in with the rest. But also consider, most artists on these platforms (minus maybe YouTube) are doing it to build portfolios to be seen by potential employers. That skews most of them towards commercializable styles and forms, which aren't going to tend to be groundbreaking.
