> You seem to be making the mistake a lot of people do, when they insist artists don't deserve to be paid, or should be willing to forego any compensation for the sake of the integrity of their craft To be clear I definitely do not believe that. Artist should be paid, as their work as value, and they are an important part of our society. I do think content created for the sake of making money in our ad driven society however is worse than both content created organically and content created… optimistically? For lack of a better word. Compare a newspaper to buzzfeed for example. The former is paid for but isn’t (wasn’t?) optimized for ad revenue so content was often less sensational and more substantive.
