Countless jobs throughout history have been obsoleted by technology. The sour grapes from the artists are just particularly sweet because they never thought it would happen to them.
As far as your personal stake in the profession is concerned, some people love journalism, too. They should still have enough self-awareness to understand why the profession is now widely despised. The radical leftist art industry is similarly obnoxious. You know why.
The relentless gatekeeping that has been done on a higher level is unforgivable, it kept me blackballed for years. I have more reasons to hate the industry than anyone, but I can't condemn an artist for wanting to protect themselves. Not all of them are radical leftists either.
No one could have anticipated it, however I don't think this renders the artist obsolete in a very constructive way or in a way that betters our condition as the politically dissident right, it just further ingratiates culture to an even more malignant set of gatekeepers.
