Preposterous. Creativity has never been more unbounded and flourishing than it is now.

  “B-but it’s not the sort of creativity I like to see, so no creativity is happening.”

  I'd agreed that's true for a small percentage of the population and that the rest are consumers. For these projects, you probably had a "visionary" but it's stated that the creations were likely a community effort and maintained over time.

    Community projects are still a thing, they're just not as grandiose, partially to do with different priorities and restrictions (making giant rock carvings is rarely top of peoples agendas, nor top of the local councils approvals), and partially due to the fact that they look lesser due to all the other amazing things people are doing on the internet.

      And even there e.g. a blockbuster movie requires the collaboration of far more people than were involved in carving these camels.
