It's just your opinion, in an excerpt from the article Kickstarter co-founder Yancey Strickler stated:
As Strickler explained, the milestone is “good” in the sense that it means that Kickstarter may now reach a point where it will funnel as much money to the arts as the federal agency primarily responsible for supporting them, effectively doubling the amount of art that can get funded in the country.
- hnal943 15y agoExcept the problem with the NEA is that their funding source is taxpayers, many of whom are "contributing" to art against their will. The kickstarter model is much more direct and is funded and controlled by the people that want the art. It stands to reason that getting rid of the NEA would result in better art and a freer society.
- astrange 15y agoYou think better art is the same as art people want? Even that's not the same as art people think they want ahead of time.
- hnal943 15y agoI think that the quality of art is subjective. I would rather have art that many people want enough to fund directly than the art preferred by a few bureaucrats.
