But they can’t just blame the money. One comes to prefer their captivity.

I’ve seen many talented illustrators change styles in a day and shit on their previous work, work that was much more labor intensive, as if it were trash.

They didn’t enjoy it until everyone else did, *all of a sudden*. Maybe their “enjoyment” is more malleable to arbitrary market forces than you make it out to be.

A handful of design executives and marketers specifically, as well as any illustrator who identifies with the whims of capital, which wants to cheapen the cost of doing business with designers (illustrators included).

idk what “identifying with the whims of capital” is but we out here trying to eat, it’s impossible to live outside of capitalism while participating in it. Our labor is being cheapened, but don’t blame illustrators. You’re punching in every direction but the right one lol

No I said that. You said they enjoyed it (I could be wrong though I am getting a lot of replies)
