A creator’s purpose is to serve their audience, is the commonly repeated maxim. The better you know your audience, the better content you can provide to them.
Is it so?
I think the writer has to carve out truth from their soul that the audience did not even know they need. The content creator, the poet, the artist, they have a responsibility to themselves first and foremost to create what makes them itch and shiver, to write down what they cannot stop thinking, to paint the image that’s engraved in their head.
Such creations they can feel confident and peaceful to present at any audience, for they are imbued with the creator’s essence of existence. A raw and unquestionable part of who the writer’s identity.
And if the audience finds themselves unmoved in the presence of such a piece, then there is nothing left for the creator to do but to seek a new audience, for there is no harmony, no resonance to connect creator and spectator.
