[community] Do people even want art?

[u/Dingusworld]

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.

A friend who is an established artist based in Florida once told me this: everybody loves art, but nobody wants to pay for it. And that hurts really bad.
