For people who already have stable incomes from art through these channels, they're probably fine.
For artists who need to get started, now they have a much harder time getting to that stable income channel.
- CamperBob2 4y agoArt, like technology, is not a great business to go into if you expect things to remain as they are.
- bawolff 4y agoIts also a bad business to go in if you expect to make buck without being highly skilled. Obvious artists are more extreme, but try getting a job as an aspiring programmer with no degree or experience who is just starting to learn to program. I imagine it would be about as bleak as being an aspiring artist.
- bawolff 4y agoI don't think the world owes aspiring artists a living. Yeah, life sucks, i wish we all lived in a star trek world without money, but in the mean time here we are.
- bobthepanda 4y agoI mean, it’s an eventual problem if an entire generation of aspiring artists disappear, because that’s where innovation and the cream of the crop come from. Like, now, we have a hard time doing architectural restoration because going all-in on modernism destroyed the pipeline and ecosystem for artisans like stonemasons.
