> The need to make money modifies the artistic process. Some expressions will be modified or straight up suppressed if they are perceived as unprofitable or offensive. But that's always been true, the creator economy didn't create that dynamic. But now, people across the world can support art that wouldn't otherwise exist. In my Muay Thai example, there are no government or large organisations that I know of doing or funding the work to document, preserve, and spread the art in the way it's being done on YouTube and Patreon. There should be, but there isn't. I'm happy I found and am able to support the two people doing the work.
