RE: The artists of Steem

If you aren't willing to get out of what you like and do the hard work required to get what you like into the eyes of others, you are near destined to fail to earn. Nothing however is stopping you from posting, commenting, consuming and enjoying yourself.

Do you think generations are getting weaker with their values? I know i can't compare a person that was born in the 40s and a person that was born in the 90s. But I noticed that new generations does not have the patience and driven purpose especially if they have the technology,environment and government to do it for them.i.e Atleast here in US I might say,just my simple observation.

I think yes. The attention and longevity is a big part of it because we live in a world of immediacy at our fingertips but in reality, that doesn't happen. What people don't realise is what they consume in 30 minutes can be a lifetime of skill development and hundreds of hours of labour for that particular piece. Most of my dad's works of art are 200 hours plus, what is the hourly rate when it sells for 1000, 2000 or 3000 dollars? McDonald's pays better. Many no longer realise the time taken to produce.
