You're picking a few massively successful people out of billions that have come and gone. You could argue the same about any industry by cherry-picking a few successes while the mean comp is much lower, which actually shows that as a society we actually do not value those things very highly.
- thenomad 10y agoMy point is that some artistic work is valued extremely highly. The issue with saying "we'd like everyone who wants to be an artist to be able to make a living at it!" is that thanks to easy duplication, a very few winners take almost the entire pot. That's radically different to most other industries, and so requires different solutions.
