    Art doesn’t pay. Capitalism can’t exploit it as much as manual labor exploits it more than anything else so there’s no money in it, unfortunately. On top of that, we have to constantly deal with people demeaning artists as useless and trying to bury us in favor of celebrities.

    (Not a writer, but an artist nonetheless)

      Doesn’t that mean that art is exploited even more?
