I’m saying that there are both aesthetic and non aesthetic reasons driving the production of media. If we were to halt media production, I think that would lead to aesthetic concerns despite the large preexisting body of works, but I don’t think that those concerns are the only or necessarily even the primary reason for continued media production.
Then I think one of us is misunderstanding the content of the article. I think I do disagree with some of the content, particularly given this comment. If I had found the reverse of that observation to be true, I would have a very different position regarding the value of creating more works of fiction.
I think there are differences you’re regarding as important that I’m not regarding as important—I could disagree with a lot of the details, but I think the broad thrust of it is both original and good. I’m still digesting what I think of the essay and mentally writing a Rocknerd post about it.

Well, yeah. We’re still not disagreeing at all.
