Apparently you've defined "the arts" as things people don't want to pay for and hence you think the government should pay for them.

I define the arts as things artist make.

> only someone who mostly consumes art but doesn't create it says otherwise.

I've created art that has collectively sold to 20-30 million people. Have several titles to my name and have hundreds of artist friends making $70k-$150k + royalties across various industries. I can look at the credits list of any movie or video game and see hundreds, sometimes thousands more. Also have friends doing patreon, etsy, and youtube making a living making art.

"The Arts" are doing just fine.

And "artist" as "anyone who manages to sell some shit that doesn't fit into any other category", judging from your links?

Your reasoning feels just as wrong as the GP's.

No, you are doing fine. You are not the entirety of the space, but thanks for playing.
