    What truly ruined creative work is the involvement of finance/business bros.

    Everyone is hiring these fuckwits to extract every last drop of profit from everything they can, instead of being happy with spending money to make money…

      One of the most difficult skills you have to learn as an artist is when to stop extracting, when to stop squeezing, when to let go and let something grow into a living thing far bigger than you.

      Business majors and finance people are monomaniacally obsessed with extracting and squeezing until they smash their environment into a brickwall, at which point their job begins and they can scoop up valuable debris from the resulting calamity for cheap.
