Things People Say To Artists...

[ginkaruja.livejournal.com]

And commissioners as well...

I hope this is allowed....
I am trying to compile a list of things people have said to artists and commissioners that have a negative view/stance on various subjects surrounding art. Mediums, pricing, marketing, art itself, methods, etc.  Anything and everything, even if it seems minor. What arguments have you seen out there?
Please number/point if you have more than one to share.

Examples of what I'm looking for:
-Digital is worth more than traditional.
-Art isn't a real job. (Everyone knows this one)
-Digital art is cheating.
-Patreon is a scam/paywall.

Variations on the same thing and details are welcome because sometimes it can add another dynamic to the opinion that must also be tackled.

Did they provide any proof? I'd be left wondering if they were just trying to start drama otherwise.

They showed me a screencap. I think they thought they were 'helping' but it was the weirdest thing.

Honestly, "proof" or not I would find that pretty invasive. What people say about my art in private is none of my business, so to go out of your way to confront an artist about it is kind of shitty? How strange.
