1. La Cruda Realidad de la Pobreza en las Artes.
El archivo revela que la pobreza no es una excepción, sino la norma para la mayoría de los profesionales creativos. El estereotipo del "artista hambriento" es una realidad brutal, con muchos viviendo por debajo del umbral de la pobreza y dependiendo de pequeños ingresos o beneficios sociales para subsistir.
- Theres a reason theres a whole starving artist trope, most of us subsist at or below the poverty line grouping us in with programmers is disingenuous.
- I think its worth pointing out that many many of the most impressive and talented and hardworking comics artists i know and admire labor as such well below the poverty line and are all terrified of losing their benefits.
- For me, while i was a full time artist, a good year for me was breaking 12k. Which is the poverty threshold in the us. The reality for the majority of us is that we are making extreme poverty wages for you to jerk off.
- I know so many artists with tens of thousands of followers who are living below the poverty line, even while making money off their art!
2. Explotación Corporativa y el Impacto de la IA.
La explotación laboral es un tema recurrente, con corporaciones y editoriales pagando salarios de miseria. La llegada de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) se percibe como una amenaza directa que elimina las fuentes de ingresos de bajo nivel, empujando a los artistas a una pobreza aún mayor.
- In the comics and games industry an artist or writer can literally create a multibillion dollar ip, known and loved by billions, and then die in poverty trying to crowdfund for medical care and housing.
- Especially as one of the reasons for that poverty is that ai has killed low level copywriting, which is what i was doing to keep my head above water.
- The theft legalised by this bill will push still more creative industry workers into poverty, and the dwp will end up filling some of the gap, so this is effectively theft from all taxpayers.
- Many publishers now expect artists to live well below the poverty line.
3. El Arte como Escape y la Dificultad de la Creación bajo Presión.
La pobreza impone severas limitaciones de tiempo y recursos, dificultando la producción artística de calidad. Sin embargo, para muchas personas que crecen en la pobreza, el arte y los juegos se convierten en un escape esencial y una de las pocas aficiones asequibles.
- Poverty doesnt leave a lot of time for art. Which is probably why you dont see many games from people who come from poverty.
- To poor people art is an escape. They dont make art to continue staring at the horrors of their reality but they want to show a better one.
- Living below poverty all my life art was my only hobby lmao. It is the cheapest hobby and is cheaper once i went digital too, since that was a one time purchase vs having to restock every so often.
- I love the art i make but in truth ive always been below the poverty line. And before last november, it was still a pretty comfortable and happy life. So many of us are severely struggling this time though. The system is trying to strangle us.
4. La Búsqueda de Soluciones y la Dignidad del Trabajo Creativo.
Existe un fuerte llamado a la acción para combatir la pobreza que afecta a los artistas, proponiendo soluciones como la Renta Básica Universal (UBI) para liberar la mente creativa de la ansiedad financiera. Se enfatiza que el arte es un bien social que merece una compensación justa.
- The elimination of poverty is the only solution. It is the only way that artists can safely say no.
- I think the greatest example to provide is the way artists are forced to live in poverty when we all enjoy art and almost universally agree they make the world a better place. Why arent these people provided with basic incomes to create a more beautiful world?
- Theres been a ubi trial happening in ireland for the last 3 years. Some artists have been given a weekly income of 350. Its bizarrely been going great who knew removing the trap of poverty would nourish the creative mind?
- If you are struggling, if you know what poverty is like, why would you want to inflict that on someone else?
