Note: This is not to argue with anybody or contest any particular takes that are going around. This is not vaguebugging, I promise.

I think it's important not to fall into the trap of privileging some modes of media creation over others on the grounds that one is more "real" or "authentic" etc. That's a fucking trap. I do think it's really important to focus on whether and how a work exploits/steals labor, whether through scraping or the many other ways in which labor has always been stolen.

For whose benefit, at whose expense.

thinking - I think the idea is that since art is such an ambiguous category, it is useless to say whether something "is" or "isn't" art.
Maybe, in a similar way, gender is a similarly ambiguous category,
and much like art, the real questions would be to ask are "how does it relate to other things I know", "who does this definition benefit", and "who is harmed as a result".
