Art is subjective, some people don't like this art. Why is this news?
How does "It's art" exempt it from outrage? Sometimes that's even the point of art.
lots of people have opinions on what art is better. lots of people discuss it. if you don't want to discuss it, don't.
I definitely see what you're with the art part of this.My comment here summarizes my feelings: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44207935
An artistic decision that you don't prefer is not necessarily "poor"
its funny how this comment is well received when its dismissing an argument about the significance of art. ive made the same point, but when its directed at more business/stem-y areas, people on here have a fit.
I find it jarring that there is implied to be something noble around withholding criticism of an art style.
Thanks for taking this the right way :) It's definitely a conversation worth having. There are plenty of things I consider art that other people despise.
That's not even art. HN appreciates art.
Only on hn would you have someone miss the point of art this hard. That's not art anymore, that's not creative.
