Come guys, we've had the discussion about giving attention seekers what they want. Disengage and stop playing their game so they'll get bored.
On the actual topic, I agree it's very unhelpful to ever compare the two, especially trying to compare novels and artists as some people have done. They're both story telling mediums but do so are plays and tv shows and movies and animations and even just rambling out loud. They're all very different. I agree lots of artists and writers should try each other's mediums, just to get an idea of each other's struggles. A bit of walking a mile in someone else's shoes can go a long way after all. And, as the original post was trying to say, and as the topic says, it's definitely not a competition. And yes, it has to be said because as we can all see everytime it's mentioned, it goes down the road of who gets paid more and somehow that always ends up linked back to value, which is completely ridiculous anyway. Fruit pickers and bin men get paid minimum wage, but without them you're not eating fruit and your streets are full of waste, so they're pretty damn important (and should be paid more but that's a different argument).
