    What a shit take. People interact with art way more in person than you’re giving credit for. Plus there’s entire art mediums that can’t be experienced digitally. Ceramics, fiber arts, sewing, fireworks, cooking, just off the top of my head. Seeing a painting IRL is a very different experience than online. Reading a physical book even hits different.

    And again, the point isn’t the end result. The point is making it. If people didn’t want to make art there would be no craft supply stores, no one would buy instruments and learn to play, people wouldn’t bother.

    Saying “oh we should give up” is ignoring that people want to make and decorate stuff.
