What's the difference between an artist and a creator?

Good explanation. I learned something new from this post.
So while it seems we have more arists/creators than ever, the work seems more hollow and less inspired than ever because the artistic expression is tailored for a digital audience(often) and that digital consumption art feels shallower
For example, I was watching a stand up act on Netflix last night with my family. We were rolling in laughter but today we won’t talk about the show at all. Had we gone and seen the act live it would have been a “family moment” that we carried with us
This easy come/easy go commodification of our art and entertainment means that so little lasts with us. Same goes for music(I’ll discover a new song to fall in love with tomorrow)
I’m obviously not the first to notice this, but I think there’s a bit of an inevitability around this. Barring some large societal change, the tide is pulling more and more this trend
