That's a good point really. Not many people realise that the majority of the population doesn't buy many creative works at all. They'll only go to the cinema maybe once a month, buy perhaps a few video games and tabletop games a year if any, watch perhaps a few TV shows or films or streaming services every month, buy perhaps 10-12 books a year, and for many of them, not buy any paintings or display art at all. And then unless it goes viral/gets picked up by the media/becomes a meme, it probably won't even get noticed by the general public. So you have to hope the right people find your work so that happens too...
