Any creative expression is ultimately “art” - anyone can put out whatever they want, the responsibility is on the viewer to accept or reject it.

The comedy stage is not the same as being a piece of shit on YouTube which then uses decades of research and the collective result of billions of dollars and thousands of people refining an addiction machine to take his message to as many people as inhumanly possible.
Since your a comedy connoisseur surely you also know that there are jokes that comedians will often tell each other but often aren’t done in public.
