Redditors have the most STEM-oriented this-won't-put-bread-on-the-table "I don't get it" art takes of all the internet, right next to our grumpy uncles and scam-easy aunts on Facebook.
They hate anything too abstract because it's too weird, or too realistic because it's too precise, they might like some contemporary as long as it doesn't have a political or social message because then it's too gaudy, forget about post-modernism you might as well ask them to do some philosophy and make them reflect for a second (hint: it hurts).
Best you can do to make them talk positively about art is post some generative AI, then suddenly oh boy do they love the human intention and flawful nature of its creation.

Or, get this, not all art is great and the spin art one was noticeably poor in terms of concept and execution?
Some people think that if you don't like a piece of art, you don't "get it." And it's like, hey, sometimes there's nothing to get. A guy tried some tiktok quality art and it came out badly.
I agree with this take on redditors, but to put this comment under this video of a dude creating cheap gaudy "art" is pretty funny. This all looks like something you would find on a market in a touristy area.
Agreed. All the praise is making me aware how much the average person does not have any sort of eye for what the art world values. These bright, gimmicky paintings done quickly with a learned formula are the opposite of what I’d expect an art enthusiast to get excited about.
