Pollock can get uncountable bytes of entropy from a skilful swing of a bucket.

Most art isn't like that. I would argue most people dislike that kind of art.

I understand not liking Pollock, and he’s often the butt of “my kid could do that”. But do you really think most people dislike it?

In person they are compelling, and there is more skill at play than at first glance. I like them at least

Well, stuff that's popular is plastered everywhere. Think about artworks we see in movies, TV shows, billboards, album covers, book covers, basically everywhere around us.

I would argue that most art around us is current pop art or classical/realist/romantic art, not modern/postmodern/abstract expressionist art.
