I wouldn't say this, no. It's just a money-oriented worldview, not a more social one.

What you're saying about art is true of all labor and I think its villainous to single out the arts as being more or less deserving compensation.

Wow, "villanous"! Hyperbolic much?

In any case, I didn't say anything about art in my comment immediately above. I was disagreeing with your worldview.

I also didn't say anything about arts being less deserving of compensation.

Could you try addressing what other people actually say?
