In film school (25 years ago), there was a lot of discussion around whether or not commerce was antithetical to art. I think it's pretty clear now that it is. As "culture industries" lean more on AI, I hope the silver lining will be a modern Renaissance of art as (meaningful but unprofitable) creative expression.

I just happened to see this
TL:DW Video essay about how skill learning has been crushed under the boots of capitalism, and the only path to self fulfilment is to steal minutes away from the megacorps and give them to your art. Not for content or for money, but for your soul.
Great video, super funny, unique editing. Highly recommend if you have the time.
