says the guy emotionally moved by a piece of art.

You've never read a book, listened to music, watched a movie or TV show, you don't hang art on your walls and you never went to school?

You've been consuming art your whole life and, for a great many people, contributing to them paying their way.

Every ticket bought, every ad you watched, every game played: funding artists.

"funding artists" is more like. "Giving artists barely enough to scrape by and the rest of the actual profits to the shareholders"
