The thing is, when it comes to content this is basically the whole game. I once, after a disagreement with a friend of mine who is a designer about the difficulty of designing a non-doubly symmetric gear icon, burned around eight hours on designing some icons and put them up on The Noun Project. I'm not a designer, a structural engineer trained software dev with a decent eye, but no real training or work experience in design. Over years the money kept coming in. I think I calculated it out to about $20 an hour after four or five years. I literally could have looked at this as a sort of bond, did the net present value accounting on it, and realized better gains than with software over the next 70 years of copyright. This is with no automation or market research or experience or training.
