You seem very optimistic. > That appreciation also leads to the creative industries being subsidised essentially everywhere in a way that is likely to increase over time rather than decreasing. Not only had it been decreasing for some time now, people are excited about making good-enough music in AI generators. I'm even surprised by your use of "subsidised" rather then "paid for". We had a chance for the sponsors during the best times of Patreon. Now it's just going to get worse.
