i don't think there actually are many "talented, shitty" people out there.
in most cases i've witnessed, the "talented, shitty" people have mostly stolen the thing that makes them look talented or based their fame on an intrinsically shitty "talent" (as in winning with capitalism doesn't make it good)
And so often those people end up being more and more shitty and less and less apparently talented and I'll just be here "told you do"-ing for boosts.
@CobaltVelvet After working in the arts in New York for a decade, I'm almost inclined to agree... but most of the talented, shitty people are cis white men with money, and are thus pretty well protected from discovery of theft or hackery, because no one is doing the investigating on the presumption that they're just Geniuses, Actually.
