You can press a button that will give you $100 million dollars, but you cannot ever consume any art/media again (this includes but is not limited to art, video games, TTRPGs, plays, books, interminable YouTube video essays, etc)

For the purposes of this argument, you are able to buy nice stuff as long as it doesn't veer into rococo / avant garde / tasteful ostentation and thus high art. You will be fed a nutrient-rich sludge. In this, not much will change for some of you.

You can hold conversations and associate with other people. You can continue to peruse message boards (there'll be a filter that strips out any memes or fan fiction, the highest forms of art)

You can spend your money however you wish, including being a patron of the arts (or whatever else you wish!)

    I'm technically wealthy already.

    For a given amount of wealth each year. Enough to eat out but don't order guacamole.

    Also I voted to press the button before I read what the button does

    I probably wouldn’t press it actually. After I spend at least half of it making myself beautiful, I would lose my mind to boredom.

    I pressed the button. The “Close thread” button. We’ll save this [chat] for a rainy day.
