Just got annoyed all over again with Spotifyās CEO saying ācontentā costs nothing to make. Thatās what youād think if your only contact with art was āowningā it and sharing it, on hard drives and mix CDs, never making anything. And itās endemic. Owner / sharers acting like they understand making.

A great piece by @clairemabey.bsky.social & I love her conclusions about why this is. I'd add a more cynical point: I think lots of people LOVE the interactive & participatory parts of the creative world, but aren't prepared to vote for policies that would sustain it thespinoff.co.nz/books/24-05-...

The idea that we are "polarised" and "divided" is an important one to people who want to stoke fear and resentment. We should resist that framing and remember that most people don't actually think that, esp our young people

'I particularly loved the subversive, honed one-liners heād sayĀ sotto voceĀ to me (and to many others, Iām sure) at book launches. They felt like notes passed from the most intelligent tearaway in the class: they often skewered hypocrisy, pomposity and blaggards.'

Just remember: Arts & Humanities are so useless and pointless that Tech Bros were driven to spend billions of dollars to try and get a computer to do something that badly approximates something Arts & Humanities students could do half asleep and wired on coffee the night before the due date.
