I think it is reasonable to look back at work and be unable to enjoy it the same way, either because of knowing what we do about the creator or because you can see hints of the bad behavior in the work itself but that is not the same as “this was always terrible”

“this person is bad so their work was always bad” is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards “but I do like this other person’s work, ergo they must be a good person” which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true

What happens a lot on social media is when someone (Warren Ellis, Neil Gaiman now Ed Brubaker) has allegations thrown at them people tend to leap out the woodwork saying "their work was never good." That helps no one as it's irrelevant. What matters is their actions and what they did.

And in the case of comic artists, they’re forced to either 1) take several years to finish one book due to balancing a day job that enables them to survive 2) create multiple books at once, putting them at higher risk of early burnout/injury, or 3) have generational wealth and/or massive savings

It's because we all have day jobs, advances are pennies, publishers don't market, one underperforming book tanks your career, and we're expected to be well-tuned brand machines on social media websites designed to suck our souls dry.

Tweet text: what are peoples thoughts on why fiction writers are producing so much less work than in the past, say up into the 80s but moreso w/r/t the writers of the early part of the 20th c. for the most part we dont have major writers who publish 10, 15, 20+ books anymore.
