Yeah because their wage is inflated. Photographers were mad about digital cameras too. Womp womp.

Inflated is not an apt descriptor of artist wages, those are known to be low.

  • And horse wages (some oats) were low when the car was invented. Yet they were still inflated. There used to be more horses than humans in this country. Couldn't even earn their keep when the Ford Model T came along.

  • If you're independent selling paintings, sure. Designing packaging or something commercial? 4 hours of work a week for nearly 6 figures. I know a couple graphic designers and they don't do shit for what they're paid.

    • You should probably tell the other millions of artists busting out 60+ hour workweek in industry for half that price where these jobs are. That could solve this problem overnight.
