every time I hear the word "content" I die a bit inside

creator: yeah the thing I dedicate most of my waking hours to? the thing I love more than anything in the world? its just content! its simply media contained between ads, and nothing more! the entire universe revolves around ad revenue and this will never change! poggers!!
me: 
Death to America
I guess...but...that cuts out 99.9998 percent of what most humans would call art. Including all socialist art!
Also, is a commissioned work not created solely to exist and be appreciated by the commissioner (and often the artist as well, artists like making things for others)? Is g&s only art if done by a third rate amateur musical society? Indeed, are they performing art or a product? Does a work of performance art become art when it enters the public domain?
It seems utterly absurd to call every professional artist who ever lived not an artist just because they had some kind of outside context to their work.
