This is why I have little respect for most of the art community. There are some exceptions that are just doing it for the love of the work and producing unique styles. But, mostly it's just boring, overdone bullshit being sold for 500x what it's worth, or artists sabotaging themselves to get ahead, or artists shitting on their own audience, or all three, or everything in-between.

As the industry has been growing increasing oversaturated for decades, centuries even, the toxic egos have been more and more pronounced. And I am definitely not surprised this guy got popular on the cesspool that is TikTok.
