The profit angle is wrong. While creators would no doubt love a steady income, at every point in history the greatest art was produced when a few geniuses sacrificed their lives for it. Art as a day job not only produces mediocrity, it does so at a scale that drowns out true genius. Sucks for the creators, but throwing money at self proclaimed "creators" just gets you a giant pile of shit. It may not be fair, but true creators will press on in any environment, it's who they are. Cutting the money just trims the wannabes.
