The idea isn’t that art can’t be a consumable product.
It’s that it doesn’t necessarily have to be that. That art can exist separately from commodification.
It’s part of a current narrative about the value of art in a world where AI can do art. The poster is implying that art has value outside of money, and to reduce art to “then who will pay the artists” is doing a disservice to the idea of art as a way that humans connect and communicate.
Its also about people turning everything into side hustles.
