I really have a hard time with people in the art world. There is nothing unique about the idea and it's really just a script putting together clips. Instead of actually making interesting art, people in this community often resorts to crappy things no one enjoy and wouldn't be able to survive unless they were given benefits from the state.

A teacher once told us, "Everything has been done before - but not by you". Tell 50 people to make their own version of any story, and you'll get 50 new stories (though yeah, a bit of originality is great).

Also, artists need time to develop. Sturgeon's law isn't just for artists you know. Every artist knows that you generally have to create a lot of crap to get good. So when people give out about crap art, they're really just telling on themselves: "I don't create".

Finally, for fun, try comparing fossil fuel subsidies to artist subsidies some time. "But we need fossil fuel" - try going a week without any art; no music, no movies, no games.
