This could be things that once were commercialized but are now public domain, or have largely resisted commercialization to this day. In this context I mean this as aiming for profit and being sold/monetized.

Shit existing in a sewer isn't a cultural activity.

But yes the contents of the sewers show that creating shit is super popular.

Shit existing in a sewer isn't a cultural activity.

Neither is fanfiction existing on tumblr.

@bionicjoey Correct. Fanfiction isn't the activity. Writing it is.

I think maybe you're one of those people who thinks "culture" is art snd ballets and operas and stuff.

But the broader meaning of the word is just production related to customs and social behaviour. Any kind of writing is a cultural practice.
