With the sheer amount of art that's becoming more and more available in the world, is there a danger to having everything available at your fingertips? Will we lose sense of what is bad, good, better and best art? [link]

I think both maybe yes and maybe no. I know that sounds really indecisive, but I have a reason, really. XD
By having things, anything you could ever want at your fingertips, things tend to mean less to people, creating a sort of detachment from all that would have been loved if only it was appreciated. Thus, it could ruin us. On the other hand, if we didn't have this, we wouldn't be able to appreciate so many other artists' wonderful work! Through seeing the work, we form connections and friends. I believe this is a good influence, thus yes. I guess its a balancing act

Actually, it depens on what kind of art people are submitting.
Some hav a dark story, others...not as much.

I do not think so, but it can be a possibility.
It depends on if everyone starts to become a master of the arts, but if not, the masses are there to decide on who is the best and the worst.

Such an unfortunate truth...

i'd guess it all depends on opinion and skill level and such, also depending your own style as well, because that might affect the way you view other's work.
i guess it's like they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Um, well, I don't think so, because everypony has their own tastes, but most everypony has at least a basic understanding and appreciation of good art, and most ponies can tell what bad art is, and the at least the aesthetic differences between good art and bad art.

I don't think so because who's to say which is good or bad? We all have our own tastes

This is an interesting subject to talk about. In my opinion and in my experience, exposure to art has much less effect on sense of deviancy than exposure to critiques. When it comes to art, people have a tendency to adapt their tastes from other people's viewpoints. Yes, we all have a unique opinion, but at an initial stage where one hasn't seen how others see art, that unique opinion is very weak and undefined. Before I started getting into art, I judged a story on how much it caught my attention--the plot was the only thing that interested me. But as I saw how more experienced critics viewed stories--their outtake on the literary aspects of said stories--I began to see where they were going, and I realized that those are important aspects to look into. Now, I can critique Shakespeare.

So, to answer your question, no. Exposure to art comes with exposure to critiques and other opinions. These will help one to get a sense of artistic analysis.
