Its because boosters literally cannot tell good art from slop. As far as these soulless, artless husks are concerned, both are mere Units of Content^tm^ to be mindlessly consumed, and nothing more. The heart and soul put into an excellent story, the years of experience beaming off a masterful painting, the blood, sweat and tears put into an animated magnum opus, all of it is utterly fucking incompehensible to them. They literally lack the basic artistic insight necessary to understand it.
Its basically the same thing with the NFT fad of a few years ago - NFT "art" is just as soulless and hollow as any piece of AI slop spewed out onto the Internet nowadays, but that didn't register to the capital-brained filth who were attracted to them like flies to shit.
The only thing that is allowed to tell good art from slop is the AI which needs to consume good art and not slop.
