I appreciate the honesty. I'm not saying people don't have this relationship with art, I think everyone can have some degrees of it, including me.

But my experience as an artist talking to non-artists about art, I don't think the sentiment that art without a struggling artist, purpose, story to tell, human arc, etc, is not real art is a true sentiment. First of all, because it's not true, because people apply their own meaning and form their own unique relationship with an artist. (The saying don't meet your heroes come to mind.)

Note that I'm not talking about AI at all here. I'm 100% for banning purely generated AI on soundcloud, bandcamp, spotify, etc. What I really want is to filter out art created by people who has put profit as first priority and thrown away any shred of artistic integrity.

But this is an impossible feat, because who am I to judge that someone else's favorite artist is devoid of artistic integrity?
