description Burgoyne discusses how the technology revolution failed creatives. Critic William Deresiewicz contends there are two narratives about the impact of the tech revolution on the lives of artists. The first story, as told by Big Tech and its evangelists, is that it has never been a better time to be an artist. The old gatekeepers houses, etc have been swept aside, allowing anyone with an urge to create to reach a global audience. Creative software and hardware have massively reduced the cost of production, while social media and the web allow for free, worldwide distribution. Deresiewicz positions the changes now taking place as the latest in a series of historical paradigm shifts in the creative industries.
