i have no problem with people giving up a creative outlet once they can't
find a reason to participate in it. there is no value in being patronized
by someone who is creative for only as long as they don't experience a
"lack of attention."

i presumed no such thing. i asked if a larger population improves the
creative output of a scene.

i guess that's why they have different names.

i mentioned neither media coverage, evil, nor "normal states of affairs,"
and so i'm having trouble determining from which of my two sentences
you're inferring this. is it just a side effect of the obvious (but so-far
unspoken) benefits of wider familiarity that we put up with the "ethicless
(?), jaded idiots"? what are these benefits and how do they change things
for the better?
