How do you explain to a CEO that artists want the process and the struggle? That the process is almost always the main reason to make art?

You don't, they're only selling a product to posers who want to have finished "works of art" without having to feel anything to "make" them.

I'm sorry I didn't answer any of your replies, I was waiting to have the mental energy to do it (I feel like I should write several essays just to express how much I agree with everything you said) but that energy isn't here these days.

What I can do is thank you all for reminding me that people like you exist. 🙂

@enriquericos I've said many times that I suspect this is what happens after generations of people are told that studying arts and humanities is pointless. This guy has no idea what he's talking about.

@enriquericos I really wonder if any of them CEOs ever had the gratifying feeling of having made something with your own hands.

Getting the finished product is a short reward but remembering the whole hard process to get there, be it art or crafts, physical or digital is where the real memories and fondness come from.

@enriquericos I thought they just wanted to produce something without paying anyone but it seems they are convinced people draw, play music, write, etc. for money, not because they enjoy it.
