Reminds me of an observation from a podcast done by a successful creative (sorry, can't remember who, I think Rick Rubin was interviewing the person):
Our society thinks it is normal to have a creative work evaluated by accounting, but never the reverse.
It would be fun to reverse that. "Ok, Jones, you made a profit of 30M, but we don't really see that you released that much creativity. We're going to have to cancel your project."

- BriggyDwiggs42 2y agoThe market isn’t great at measuring whether art improves the lives of those within it.
- DrScientist 2y agoThe art market is a very interesting one - in both that it's driven in large part by human factors ( psychological ), and it's quite open to manipulations of various sorts. If you want to study pathologies markets can accrue then in my view the art market is a very good area to study.
- fifticon 2y agoThis sort of exists, but unfortunately only as slow trainwrecks. It is how Bobby Kotick was finally ousted from Activision-Blizzard, and similarly with Amazon's Rings of Power, and Boeing's 737-Max, and also with the crap Disney puts out in the last 25 years (new star wars movies). With Kotick however, I fear he was just replaced with more competent bean-grubbers.
