      Shaping a cool weird idea so that people will actually see the damn thing and appreciate it is part of art It is an act of generosity and skill It is part of an oppressive capitalist machine as is all other work people do, sure

      But in a hypothetical socialist utopia popularity and accessibility would still be a thing in art and trying to be more popular and get more eyeballs would still be a virtue It's just how people work

      I sometimes look at Adorno's screaming rants about pop culture and jazz and I'm like "What do you actually want, man, what do you imagine your ideal society looking like if it existed, how the fuck would it work"

      So, for European academic leftists, the goal is that we change conditions so that "high art" (as a middle class European intellectual would define it) is still produced, but everyone is educated enough to appreciate it.

      A world where everyone is a snob, basically.

      It's also very easy to criticize that (Marx himself called it petty bourgeois socialism: middle class white guys imagining a society where everyone can be a middle class white guy).

      I actually think about the observation that everyone mocks the 1970s as "the decade where taste went to die" and this is the decade when income inequality in the United States was at its lowest (for white people, anyway)

      More people than ever before actually had the money to buy what they wanted and make it popular in the marketplace And a lot of what they wanted the tastemakers and gatekeepers found to be cringey as hell

      Shiny polyester leisure suits, shag carpets, blaring disco music with thumping beats, Robin Williams going nanu nanu nanu on TV, being able to go to an actual theater and watch actual porn

      I mean the thing is this was also a renaissance era for "high art", like this is when auteur-driven cinema really got started in the United States Because with all that consumer money sloshing around in the marketplace even the hipsters get their share

          But people still complain It's like the paradox about how yeah absolutely the Disney juggernaut taking over the trad film world is very scary

          But come on the "prestige TV" era is the objectively easiest time it's been EVER to get funding to make a season of a weird TV show nobody watches
