The fallacy you make is to confuse the wealthy and monied art markets of today, many of which have lost all credibility solely from being involved in the money laundering of selling blank canvases for millions, you confuse them with the tastes and values of the majority, and you think it gives them value.
Case in point - the Alt Right. They have zero platforms, money, institutions, awards, mainstream media, they are hounded and kicked off every corner of the internet and yet their cultural value is incredibly high as they hold space in the minds of every leftist rent free, and have hundreds of thousands of members and millions of sympathizers. Are they irrelevant nerds lurking on web forums? I'd be very careful thinking about the silent dissident voices in your nation in such a dismissive and conceited way
