There’s a pretty huge overproduction problem in the arts, literature, and music, and it’s being made worse by spam and hustle culture shit at least in the short term. All the spam and hustlecrap is ironically making good works more special but at the same time harder to find. I’d say first and foremost: don’t make art unless it’s burning a hole in your head and it must be made. That helps solve the overproduction problem. As for the spam and junk problem that’s a discovery issue. I’ve actually gotten back into reading lately. Good new stuff is as hard to find as it is to get it found. Of course like most readers I have a backlog… hence the overproduction problem.
