When great artists go Dumb

Alternative title : Death by artsy stupidity, or Protest against self-idiocy.

Alternative-alternative title... Why are artists, too often, feeling the need to be such MASSIVE dicks to everyone that ever loved them and/or their art ?
Seriously, why is nuking ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING even an option, let alone their first option, that they think is ''appropriate'' ?
Has none of them ever heard of the preservation of art and media ? Is it because of some ''tormented need for the Dramatic'' that seem to creep into their personality over time ?

I mean, really... Too many. Too often. Is it a consequences of the modern ''quick and easy obtainable and disposable nature of digital content'' compared to the more ''physical'' stuff ?
Just think, for a second, if many artists did that, decades or centuries ago.
Songs, musics, paintings, sculptures... Loved and sometimes venerated today.

-''Yeah, I'm not feeling that smile anymore. Alright everyone, time to burn the Mona Lisa !''
How god damn stupid and maddening would this be !

And yet... Here we are. Artists being ''artsy'' and stupid. Middle-finger to all of us, I guess. It's ''their'' art, after all, so we clearly have no say in the matter... Yeah. Right.
And then, some will wonder, why some people download their stuff the very chance they get.

Not all artists are idiotic or mad like that, but when they are... It's a lost for *ALL* *OF* *US* !
