Well we do, we are still paying them after all. Part of creativity is that it is not one size fits all, and you can actually repeat the same thing with minimal changes and have it appear new again.

I'm just saying we can never have a creative economy because we already have a creative economy meeting all our creative demands, and that our ability to demand more creativity will only degrade over time as most people get poorer.

There will always be a market for new art, because not everything possible has been drawn yet, etc. Someone will always want something new, and now there are millions of artists at your fingertips to create it for you. The problem is a lot of them are already creating what they want for free to enjoy, and once you have whatever you want made, you have no more money to be spent on that industry.
