I am certain that whenever someone posts about “gatekeeping art” or whatever, they’re talking about posting drawings online for clicks. They never mean arranging rocks in the back yard. They never mean whistling to yourself and finding a tune that makes you happy. They never mean napkin doodles.
Oh no, art is only for commerce or for attention, which at this point, is also commerce. There is no personal practice of art, no intention, no urge to express. They just want to participate in what they see as the production of content, so personally I don’t think they deserve any art at all.
