Fact-checkers: People who get paid to spend months making sure that every single statement is true and correct.
Do artists have the luxury of having fact-checkers for their work? How can the artist know if their work is ready to be shared, if it’s good enough to be shared, if it’s good at all, if it’s not as bad as the vocal minority (often just the artist) is saying it is?
“My work is good, my work is crummy, my work is great and it’s always going to be great, my work is awful and it’s always going to be awful.” Statements turned into facts, fact-checked by ego.
