    I wouldn’t dispute it’s work. I would say pursuing it is a choice and extreme point of privilege the majority do not have. So complaining about it is kind of a slap in the face to those without the ability/opportunity. Especially when that complaint at the same time diminishes the their efforts.

    But only creatives can choose monetize their creativity. Everybody else HAS to trade their time for money by using a learned skill and/or destroying their body. Being in a creative self employed line of work is incredibly rare and an unbelievably privileged position that one chooses. Imagine the ditch digger picking up overtime and hitting 70 hours a week to cover his bills. If he could, he would talk about politics and make millions in a heartbeat. Anyone can be a competent ditch digger, a tiny fraction of a percent can be a successful multi millionaire creative. It’s a disrespectful and out of touch statement.
