All art worlds, including the international fine art world, require an amount of buy-in, or, if you'd like, delusion. The fine art consensus about what art is and what art is worthwhile is built on centuries of conceptual, aesthetic, philosophical, and market progression. If you don't believe in it, it's not for you. The problem with The Art World is that people think it's THE art world. There are many art worlds. You can always find another "art world", like that of C64 graphics creators. See people making motion graphics on Instagram, wallpaper artists on DeviantArt, folk artists around the world, hobbyist landscape artists. All of these have theories of what's worthwhile and what's not. It's unreasonable to use the standards of one in another. If, in The Art World, a clay folk figuring is cool but not worthy of exhibition, in the Indian folk art world, it might be what's actually worth making and continuing to make, not a white canvas.
