A place to talk about art on Farcaster. Artwork created by jacob.eth

We have entered an era where the value of art is determined by its ability to spread. Its worth stems from how extensively it is discussed, written about, and shared. As a work circulates more broadly, its value inevitably increases

The true worth is merely a mirage, shaped by popular opinion rather than genuine merit

I think this applies not only to art, but to most things. Product, service, art, even food. If a dish is marketed very well and also gets praise from 2 friends, it will taste better for you than before. Everything is marketing.

Yes, I agree, both unfortunately and fortunately. Although I don't have a scientific analysis, I think these are the things that advance civilization.

I completely agree with you.  As humans, we are deeply influenced by our peers and have a strong desire to be included. Most people will go to extraordinary lengths to be accepted and avoid exclusion. Consequently, we often conform to popular opinion rather than thinking for ourselves.
