never said otherwise
>one artist is uncompromising in the quality of his works, wants to provide good products, and payment is an affirmation of it. for most x artists it's just what ever is good enough to game the algorithm. x artists don't care about craft. they care about anime and fandoms and algorithms.
that's an uncharitable, simplistic, and ultimately wrong way of describing it. I'm not even particularly a fan of anime or a lot of the styles you tend to see on xitter, but depending on the sort of style you're going for there's going to be different heights of skill. and even within a "lesser" genre or style, if you don't reach the upper end of skill, that doesn't mean you don't care about it or aren't trying. plenty of people - regardless of the style - try for years on end to get better, but they're either ignorant or don't have as much time as others to put into it so their progress is markedly slower. much like you can care about both craft and monetary gain, so too can you simultaneously care about both craft and fandom or the algorithm - they're not mutually exclusive. just because one might be subordinate to another doesn't mean the lower-ordered one isn't of concern.

Being an artist is hard. Don't you agree?
