10 months agoPeople need to expect to pay for art and entertainment. People should. It’s immoral and unethical to not pay for art and expect art to be there.
Okay so what I’m hearing is you want companies to make investments in artists directly - so a form of profit sharing essentially. Why would a company invest in artists if artists get all of the profits when its successful and the company loses all of the capital if it fails? Why would any business want to partake in a system like that?
