ensures that all aspects of society become honed to a single virtue - non-committal profiteering.
In art, this manifests as a simplification of all forms of art as message, into art as concept. The more conceptually vague and formulaic the art becomes, the easier it is for the viewer to simply project what they want onto a generalized archetype production. Everything becomes more meaningless as people increasingly require escape over engagement. Thus the ideal artform for capitalism is something akin to a funko pop. The funko popping of music, of film, of video games, dance, character design, acting, animation, and illustration, etc. You see this in American "adult" animation, and in the way stories are allowed to be presented. It's all very similar, and without any edges that would imply it was made by artists rather than printed from a template.
Obviously art still exists. Okay. I'm not... fucking stupid? You know? But it's mere existence on the fringes of society are also actively being predated by the automation of plagiarism, and being stolen by robots to feed into a machine that turns the creative and expressive nature of art, and grinds it into a slimy grey slurry that tastes like "whatever you can imagine!" The mere existence of our experiences and expressions is being harvested to make that slurry, to feed into the mold of the Funko Pop Singularity. This is all happening because the people investing in art are convinced that art needs to be a trillion dollar business with zero overhead.
