Entertainment can be labor. If someone is explicit and consistent about a tarot reading being just a game of make-believe then I suppose it's fine, but I doubt most people who would do tarot readings professionally would be about to pull it off with at least winking at their audience.

    Entertainment (and the arts) would probably not have a large central component. I imagine many more people would engage with arts than today thanks to shorter work weeks. Set building and performances and the like would probably occur on a more local level.

    There's definitely something cool about seeing a blockbuster movie with special effects, or an artistic film that makes deep points while showcasing actors at peak talent.

    However, humans had oral tradition and just like people in robes acting for a long time. Our brains are probably better off with some storytelling that requires a little internal imagination and thought.

    I guess what I'm getting at is, on my ideal commune the arts would be hobbies for everyone to enjoy and play a part in as they wish, not a "job" that constitutes pulling one's fair share.
