More strange blog comments
I am fascinated by blog commenters who write anonymous opinions that don't make sense, or maybe I am missing something. Like this one. I am really curious what Confusing Anonymous Blog Commenter (CABC) means about this post by writing this:
DC Magazine trying to usurp it's way into Washington's creative community, yet they're not willing to pay fair value to artists who work with them. That doesn't seem right to me.Please explain! Sure DC Mag is capitalizing on the coolness of contemporary art. Who can blame them. Contemporary art is super cool! But what does CABC mean when he/she says that they're "not willing to pay fair value to artists who work with them?" Magazines use publicity as their currency. They give that to you in exchange for you letting them print your name and pretty pictures of you and flattering stories about you on their pages. That's how it typically works and for the most part it works quite well. As far as I know, DC Mag has been doing a great job trying to step up its local art scene coverage and, in the big picture, that's good for all of us and I am happy to work with them to give greater exposure to artists and other key players who are doing good things. But if CABC is refering to some other kind of more nefarious situation, then I'd really like to hear about it because CABC is making quite an accusation.
