I think that's where the world of art appreciation is now quite visibly breaking along a divide that has existed for a while. Some have always just valued the product: means be damned, if the end is enjoyable enough. For others, the process matters; for some even more than the result.
The latter group seems larger, though they may just be more passionate about their views and accordingly vocal (personally, I suspect both are the case, but I don't know of any solid evidence).
Such is the way of new technology: it challenges traditional values. That doesn't mean those values are without merit or have to be overturned, but I think it's valuable that they're challenged at least.
Here's to hoping they stand the test.
