Content creators are not the beneficiaries of the current copyright legislation, which enables accumulation of large catalogues of old works that can be used to strong-arm central platforms to act as gatekeepers (for lack of a better word.)
Living independently from patreon and youtube is the dream of most content creators. Whether it is currently viable isn't an argument in favour of current copyright legislation.

They might not be the intended or primary beneficiary of current copyright legislation, but they are a beneficiary of their employers earning money due to the copyright legislation (however disproportionate). > Whether it is currently viable isn't an argument in favour of current copyright legislation Yes, that’s what I was hoping to convey by ending my comment stating current copyright lengths are a separate issue.
