That's incredibly delulu... Can't tell you how many ppl I've met who say "I used to art" and don't because burnt out. 100% would bet a soul that if we didn't have to grind there would be MUCH MORE content because people wouldn't get burnt out and they'd create and create and create.

I agree; defining what I do to as “content” for money is a completely different mindset. If I had UBI I’d still DRAW - probably more because I wouldn’t need the day job. I make stuff because I want to draw, I like making stuff. I show people because life sucks and maybe it will make them happier.
