Art is a strange market, where people pay for more than the physical good being delivered. In some cases the objective value of the good being delivered is zero, or even negative after considering cost of "carry" (transport, storage, insurance) yet people pay for it.

I once spoke to an illustrator who said her work was definitely shrinking due to low cost human competition, so much so that she was leaving her profession. I can imagine this did in fact get worse.
