Nope.
Nothing wrong with show business; I like being entertained.
Nothing wrong with commercially successful art either; great if someone manages to make money with art.
Everything wrong with "first and foremost you have to find an audience"; without artists who follow their vision no matter if they have a big audience or not, we would be missing the art that really matters. Think Kafka, think van Gogh.
