>Show art, yes, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, to selected guests. Plenty of wealthy people right now have art collections that only they and a very few people get to see in person. And that was so back then, and only after a person died would art be placed in public galleries or museums. The alternate was municipal art, paid and contracted for by governments.


How can you not understand how ridiculous it sounds?

DA or pixiv already has enough art to keep anyone busy for months of nonstop browsing

even I estimate that I have like hundreds of thousands of pictures on my HDD and I cannot even manage to see them even if I dedicate 1-3 seconds to one picture same goes for various movies and series I even stopped downloading them because they keep piling faster than I can ever see. (and I kinda need to leave some time for work and sleep as well)

and you proclaim that some super rich person will hire some artist to make even more of random stuff as if all that is not enough?

if you commision someone to make something for you, you do it because you want something specific for your tastes what you can't find online.
if you patron someone you do it because that person is making specific stuff you like, not because that artist has some super skills.


>There'd be less guro work, because there wouldn't be enough money to support its production.

why do you speak in the future tense?
do you think the situation can change and it is possible to make it even less profitable than today?
you already cant get even nearly enough money to support production


>Making it impossible for an independent artist to make a living will just make more artists not independent. They won't be making what they want, they'll be making what Donald Trump wants, or what big business wants. Some artists will release art for free, but I think there will be less of that kind of artist if you get your way.


Again why do you think future will be different than today?
Do not forget that all works are just piling up so even if 10 years later no new content will be created we will have more than you can consume in several lives. (and it is not going to stop being made, the production rate is growing rapidly)

>I did not prove myself wrong. You just can't read properly. You assume things about me just because you do not like what I say, and you can't be bothered to keep the facts straight.


no, it is you who messed up with your claims because it is your claim that artist will not be posting anything because they will not be paid and you yourself proved yourself wrong by posting free nonguro art

it does not matter that it is not guro content because we are talking about all content and other people are not so paranoid about that so they will post guro content just like you post nonguro

You are making claims that people will stop posting art if they won't be paid and you post it yourself without being paid.
cant you even see how ridiculous is your logic?
