It by-definition does not. The fact that you can't see this I think makes you an inhuman monster.
If this were true, why would I want any of it? Do you seriously consume art you think is garbage for no reason? Are you not busy? Is your life really so boring?

The top 40 charts of music? 35 out of the 40 are pure crap, manufactured by people that are playing it by the numbers based on market studies, all in the pursuit of money. Now on top of that, imagine the majority of amateur fluff that people produce that are just low quality, or things that people make that aren't full of gravitas, nuance and actually emotionally impactful.
Wow. This is a very old-man opinion.
Are you comparing people's weekend projects to, I dunno, Marvel movies?
I like amateur fluff, you know? I look for niche indie games on steam or itch.io just because I want to see what people are up to—what fun ideas they have. That it seems to bother you they're not Casablanca is very strange to me.
Ok, so why is the visual idea that some computer hobbyist came up with but didn't have the artistic capability to create not something interesting to you?
I dunno. What is it communicating to me?
