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.

Because Disney is the only company that ever makes animated movies /s. No really there was a meme floating around about 2 kinds of people; one side can name all the animation studios involved in the pictured film (Dreamworks, Studio Gibli, Cartoon Saloon, Illumination, etc) and the other person just thinks every animated movie is made by Disney.
I'm also guessing that the money aspect is a draw as well. When you see that a move like Moana just hit about $150 million in sales in the US alone you just assume that everyone is getting paid in buckets of gold.
