Walter Paul Bebirian 's comment on Art Collecting: Should artists buy art?

so how much competition is there amongst the artists of today - and more specifically the individuals here participating in this discussion -

is there some of this element of "I purchase more art from other artists than you" type of underlying theme here?

I mean even the title runs the risk of shaming people who are not interested in anyone else's work and most importantly collecting it - into doing just that -

I on the other hand encourage - now that the Internet and social media exists people in all walks of life - artist - business man - ball player - day laborer - anyone and everyone no mater how much money you do or do not have - to view- enjoy - become inspired - motivated and repeatedly come back for free to get whatever and everything that you can - without spending a penny - :
