That’s what I find in most of the art community at my age is either ppl replaced by AI, but seemingly unaffected (trust funds, nepotism, shuffled to something else) or mysterious resume maxxers (trust funds, nepotism) or scammers because not once since starting selling art on eBay have I gotten to take a meaningful break; about 7-8 years of nonstop work with very little return outside a livable income I could easily make doing a regular job. It’s wild the idea of “making it” seems to just mean permanent retirement for people who frankly never needed money in the first place
