What is sold as culture today is just that: a product; a derivative of humanity, sold by the world's most successful companies as a hollow substitute, but one that sells like hotcakes.

What makes you so sure, when there's not even the prospect of making a living from it anymore? Do you think most artists do it as a hobby?

    Not as a hobby by choice. They would love to do it and pay the bills but given no other choice they will work some other 9 to 5 and work on their passion in their off time. That's why artists are always taken advantage of so often. They know artists do it because because they love it and can be paid and treated like shit. Just look at the video game industry.
