Art vs Entertainment. Difference in responses.

All three podcasts I recommend.

Now this is meta! More meta than meta! 

Thinking about this post That I got from this existential podcast Even the story grid discusses it.

One of the most important considerations of publishing our ideas are literary and commercial target audiences. With platforms that distribute the self-publishers.

Two categories of what to edit for whos-it-for. Differences from publishing platforms, and audiences that seek to be challenged, or entertained.

Art there with commercial appeal (twitch), and challenging introspection (picarto) with my own streaming platforms right now.

There's still an overlap of success when it comes to what an audience responds and reacts to, with the literary success being elite critical support, commercial being building towards 1000 true fans. (don't follow any tutorial on that, btw. Especially paying anybody.)

With two samples. From the movies.

18+ masterful trolling or literary works? I'd vouch on the former. Regardless, the intent was clear. It was meant for literary fans rather than the commercial.

It can be literary or pretentious, one's mileage may vary.

  • The cuties, a controversial art film that provoked mainstream western audiences. Rehash covers it.

They were treated with the utmost respect with the literary challenging subject. With many of the scenes unwatchable, at the end, though. Through all the challenge, I got it.

The theme and subtext of the subject. Along with the perversity of body commodification on the Internet being critiqued, with the literary crowd got the joke. It was an art-movie, one not intended for commercial audiences, with it still respecting the Bildungsroman genre.

The literary crowd got it, the western, the commercialized crowd didn't.

  • Freddy Got fingered, a curious work that the studio threw away a lot of money within one scene, with that. I saw the intent, the joke on commercial.

An older example.

This even goes to YouTube videos. Lasagnecat makes comedy of both.

1 hour of a parody of a literal analysis 

Now this is 4:40:51 minutes,

The creators went: what's the biggest demographic of the internet? Sex! Let's serve that with a content farm and please them. Forget the horror bit at the end.

Where the literary crowd mocks the commercial for being hackneyed freebooters, the commercial crowd mocking the literary crowd for being clique snobs walled behind private accounts. Shred of truth in each.

To conclude, there's the responsibility. Along with the interaction of the status quo between each. To what succeeds, manage the expectations.
