There's people who see art as "content" and others who see it as a creative persuit like a journey.

The best way I can explain it is playing a game like league of ledgends or deadlock. There's no being the best at it, and there are many different roles and niches you can excellent at. You don't play the game to be the absolute best because that's physically impossible. You play because there's a path where you constantly challenge yourself and are constantly on a state of learning and improving.

When you hit that moment sometimes it can feel like a manic episode and you are pouring your soul into a project, and that's the golden space that people chase after. Nothing else in the world matters and a million ideas are racing through your head.

The final product is meaningless without all that because the whole thing you where chasing is the high/satisfaction of just being into a hobby/skill. If I got into deadlock or league of ledgends and had a aimbot and all these other hacks I should be having the most fun I ever had because I'm absolutely dominating every game. Yet if I actually did that the game becomes meaningless and I get bored and have no reason to play. All those wins and hurdles I had to face on my own no longer are there I'm just getting pure dopamine spikes for nothing, and my brain quickly builds up a tolerance to that and it becomes lame. Much like everything in life if you just skip to the end and start hitting the dopamine/get high button, you end up ruining your relationship with that thing. It either becomes a addiction problem or you get bored of it.

There's people who just chemically don't understand what art is because they never really made anything or experienced that. They just view art as a product they can try to scam someone with, or a way to get easy YouTube/tiktok views without dedicating a single thought to it.
