- slater- 2y agoYeah but Operation Ivy is done.
- paulpauper 2y agothis is why the arts are underrated when people try to show charts of how 'STEM people' earn more. Yes, they earn more initially, but the humanities and the arts have the benefits of residuals, branding, and legacy. A top -40 hit can generate $ forever. Same for a book.
- chrisco255 2y agoA SaaS product with low churn can generate revenue for decades. The songs and books that actually last for decades with a high amount of revenue (enough to live off of) is a tiny fraction of 1 percent.
- paulpauper 2y agobut the product has to be updated , no . The song or book does not have to be changed at all.
- NeoTar 2y agoIt’s maybe less so in the digital era, but certainly before 2000-or-so so you needed to republish books and songs.
- ghaff 2y agoMost books don't even earn out their advances. While STEM covers a lot of ground, it's a lot more reliable career path than the arts in general.
