Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income. - eviltoast

    You say that like it’s a bad thing. We could use more people who can afford to make art in the world, even if a lot of it would be shitty art.

      Do we really need them more than doctors, plumbers, teachers, etc. though? While I’m for a UBI, I’m against it being enough to fully live off of for exactly this reason. The world doesn’t need a bunch more popsicle stick art.

        Speak for yourself. I think the world would be a much better place with more popsicle stick art.

      Eeh deviant art had that perspective and then got flooded with mspaint fetish porn and became unusable.

      Art station on the other hand always blows me away every time I visit the front page. So there’s a limit.
