What's the deal with always wanting to turn art into a day job, anyway? These things are almost antithetical, as exemplifies by thousands of YouTube channel that turned into soulless content-producers in an effort to keep a schedule.

Damn, people somehow made art in 10000BC, when everyone was a hunter-gatherer by necessity.

quite right. i happen to be an amazing musical genius with the keys to the future of the art, and i will not share my hobby work with you or the world because you just pulled the rug out from under my lifes mission by reducing everything to shopping mall McDonald's aesthetics. enjoy your oldies and cover bands.
