    You’re getting downvoted, but you’re right. There’s nothing stopping anybody from replicating this art style, why do the tools involved make a difference now?

      I assume you can do it by hand, right now, in a few seconds then?

        So? Just because you can make something fast with tools doesn’t make the art of making it without these tools less impressive or appealing.

        It’s like saying photography killed painting. It did in some ways. But in many other ways it didn’t.

      The tools matter because of the sheer volume of content which literally any meth head can produce, which has already severely tainted the whole online ecosystem, and will only get worse.
