I think a lot of the people haunting museums and art galleries couldn't care less and are doing it for the clout, or at least because it's expected of them.
Not all, but a large fraction.
I don’t think so, most of the people in regular galleries (as in exhibition spaces rather than sale spaces, usually) and museums are retirees who have tons of free time, also watch TV / do gardening / look after the grandkids but then maybe visit a museum or gallery once or twice a week. Art scene for living artists in London/NYC/other big art cities is young rich people living off their parents (since working in the arts doesn’t pay unless you’re in the 99.9th percentile of luck/success) but these are themselves usually fine, too often with minor-major substance abuse issues but overall typically more interesting than their peers or siblings who go into consulting or law or finance.
