But actually, upon more careful examination, this thread brings up a subtle point which is that today there is no clear way to differentiate between the artists we should pay attention to and the more common fare. Companies like Amazon have sought to democratize literature and so promote the idea that everyone can be an author and stand side by side with greats, and the only differentiator is sales. Same is true for other arts too.
