How does a singer-songwriter provide this but not the minecraft shader guy? Is there something I'm missing?

I don't think there is a very serious theory behind this text, it feels more like someone complaining that what they find on patreon wouldn't belong in their museum of art.

Perhaps because minecraft shaders belong more in the realm of some guy making stools and chairs at his garden shed, and not in the realm of deep aspirational art?
