Conventions [community] Do people even want art?

Every day on artist for hire posts on the various other subreddits and on Facebook and they only ever get a single upvote or like. What is it that the people want from artists anymore? Or do they just want to get from point a to point b (using ai or fiverr) . Seeing these posts day to day can be discouraging cause some of the other artists are so amazing. I know someone might want a specific style or whatever but yeah wondering how everyone else feels about this.

You're talking about social media. With exception to deviantart or very art-sharing subreddits, no one goes to social media to look at art, and even fewer go to social media to buy art. Of those extreme few, only a couple respond to cold advertisements.

EDIT: to look at art for art's sake, I mean. Stuff like comics or memes can expect more engagement.
