Isn't that just the nature of capitalism? When a need is identified people rush to fill it as cheaply as possible.

It sucks that it drains the soul out of things, and that mass produced cheap variants can crush anyone trying to make quality things by hand.

On the upside I can get shitty custom art (If I need a victorian painting of my dog or something) for like $20. That would have been hundreds a few years ago, and maybe thousands 20+ years ago.



It is, but that's not a good thing.

Capitalism needs brakes and regulations; Not a popular stance, with this crowd.


In other words, capitalism is a system where everything gets flooded with spam in exchange for cheap generation of AI slop (which is also spam).

I'm not sure this is a good system.
