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’m not an artist so forgive me
But how would you define genuine merit?
It seems to me that the popularity of a piece will, at least in some part, be a reflection of how much people enjoy it?

I believe that the genuine merit of an artwork can vary significantly and manifest in many forms, each piece has its own unique story. I agree that the popularity of a piece reflects how much people enjoy it.  I also believe that the influence of social media has significantly magnified these dynamics.
