The explanation was implicit, but I will elaborate it for you. What he is proposing is a vertical integration within an industry that doesn't work like that. It did once (studio model) and that crumbled for various reasons (I can elaborate on that too if you want). On top of vertical integration, he is proposing a base income. Sort of like accelerators, but communist version. In a sense where selected writers would have income to fall back on, whether they work or not (whether they're motivated to work on quality or quantity or not at all). edit: here's a bit of background on Studio system of ye olde https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_system
