I find it interesting on the support creators side it is purely about easing getting money. That is certainly important, but I feel like it ignores exploring more ways to ease the act of creation, giving ways to increase rate of creation or improve ability to prepare etc.
We developers create a lot of this sort of stuff to make our own jobs easier, but other types of creatives don't necessarily have the ability to explore the same space for their own work. I think there are opportunities there to be explored, if we can just find the right places to inject possibility. I have one idea I'm working towards now for writers (as that's my secondary interest after dev) but I bet there are ways to help musicians, painters, etc as well we haven't even begun to dream of yet.
- codingdave 9y agoThe problem in that space has nothing to do with money or reaching fans. It is that to succeed as an artist via online tools, your primary skill must be marketing. All the existing sites bring success not to the best creators, but to the best marketers of their creations. Or, I guess I should say, reaching fans is the problem... but it isn't correlated with the quality of your work.
