So you’re saying you don’t know of any financially struggling artists.
How exactly would you hear about an artist who isn’t doing well financially but is so popular you’d hear about them? If you actually hung out in artist circles then you’d know a lot of artists like that, so yeah, I’m assuming you don’t.
You said that if they appeared to not be making money they are essentially lying about it or going off to work in a factory.
So you’re preventively arguing against any evidence to the contrary of the poor artist. As for the factory part, my brother in Christ, that’s what most artists have to do. They work part time or full time jobs, sometimes multiple jobs, to supplement their income.
As for your definition of artbro, that’s a myopic sliver of the art world as a whole, and I am dismissing your aren’t to limit the conversation to just those people, because the topic is about generative ai which affects the WHOLE art community. Amateurs to full on professionals. In every branch of the arts.
I guess this is where the miscommunication has been happening, since I’m talking about artists as a whole and you’re only talking about those which have gotten jobs in specific industries.
So I apologize, I thought you were coming from a more holistic, knowledgeable, informed, and experienced position than you were and shouldn’t have put that upon you.

It’s called sample bias. You’re only talking about the artists you’ve personally met, not the statistics of artists as a whole.
I also think you’ve got a bias in favor of tech bros because you see them as hard workers, and see artists as lazy elites.
And when I am talking about artists, I’m not talking about the small fraction that are in “high” arts with museums n shit.
It sounds to me that you you don’t really know a lot of artists and don’t really know a lot about this whole situation but still managed to form an opinion.

Dude artists are some of the most broke people out there, to the point where the starving artist is a trope, what are you smoking?

I see creativity as an inherently human trait. I’ve known plenty of people who are smart and have very low creativity, and people who aren’t that bright who come up with very creative ideas. And people who are both and neither.
Making images and arts are only part of that creativity, there’s more to it than that.

Elaborate

People do make art and be creative still so I don’t know why you’re asking why they don’t.
And people still do it because making art is a thing humans do and like to do. People still sew even though they can just buy clothing.
Acting like there’s a barrier for entry to make art is a flat out delusion. Humans were making art on caves with chalk and dirt they found. You can make art with a stick. Acting like artists are rich elitists is the most ignorant and incorrect thing I’ve ever read on the Internet.

Oh, I see, you misunderstood here. I was doing this old school traditional thing called “social graces”, which evidently you’re unaware of. It’s so people can save face, among other things. I was using a tactical social maneuver called “giving you the benefit of the doubt” and “giving you an out”, so that you could make yourself look like less the fool.
Since you’re clearly uneducated on social graces, you failed to “read the room” and what you posted could be interpreted as insulting most of the people commenting, but was vague enough to be about other people.
So I gave you the opportunity to explain yourself in a polite way, and now you’ve thrown it back into my face with an insult.
I had no idea I was talking to the societal equivalent of an angsty slug, but that’s what the benefit of the doubt is for.
You sad, lonely thing you.

The people who are cool with this going “why shouldn’t my parents enjoy what they made, why would you want anything you didn’t work for?” are sort of missing the point. The real phrasing, that they probably would agree with, is “why should I support my children and future generations, my enjoyment is more important than their survival and secured future”
If you really think that you should only get what you work for, give back every Christmas or birthday present or any gift you’ve gotten or are getting in the future immediately. Turn down any bonus you get at work. Hell start paving your own roads.
Supporting others, especially family, is a good human trait, and shouldn’t be erroded.

Ok I am an outlier here but honestly I kinda like stuff like that. I’m not gonna pretend it’s worth a million dollars (like they would be cool with you selling it anyway) but real China is actually really pretty and sturdy if you take care of it and has a lot of neat little pieces of history and stories related to it. I like antiques and the look of old stuff.
However
My mom once tried to give us old pilsner glasses, and the story was “Grandpa bought them and didn’t like them so they’ve been in this cupboard since then”, and then got really disappointed when I was seeing if a friend of mine wanted one since he’s a real beer guy who might like fancy glasses.
So yeah if you already have plates, and your family history isn’t as great or interesting to you, don’t feel obligated to keep stuff you don’t like. Donate it (to anything other than goodwill or salvation army) or whatever.

That makes a lot more sense
- Comment on How is anime and manga more popular than comics and western cartoons? 3 months ago:
That’s also because of how they are printed.

Dude the marvel cinematic universe is we…was one of the biggest hits to smash into the box office. Batman is one of the most popular fictional characters ever written. People are still talking about adventure time, regular show, Avatar the last Airbender, and they ended how long ago? SpongeBob is still on the air. Simpsons has lasted longer than most anime.
What are you talking about, Western comics and animation being less popular?
- Comment on Why isn't apple a popular ice cream flavor? 3 months ago:
Corporate studies show that the most popular ice cream flavors are the flavors we’ve always made and new flavors are risky because we don’t know how popular they will be and so we only do the same flavors so we’re always right.
Same reason why you only get reboots and remakes, it’s a safer bet for investment.
