Performance is very hard to evaluate in terms of work. It's a couple of minutes on stage but a lifetime behind the scenes. Even in the most popular sports, it is a small fraction of participants getting stellar or even good pay. Of course, popularity of the whole field is a factor/a multiplier. What can you do?
Sometimes the best version of yourself is not something others are willing to pay for. So, state subsidizing art that is not viable on the free market is a kind of robbery to all who pay taxes. As with many other things.
Web 2.0 is a larger stage, reaching more people with ease but also diluting the value of the performance. Web 3.0 is a stage everybody can own a piece of but it's not large enough. Yet.
It has potential. So have most people.
It takes commitment and performing in harmony (or a diversity of harmonies, all right) just for the sake of it before it gets where it could.
Exactly and I think that many people aren't willing to do the lifetime behind the scenes these days.
It is a funny world, isn't it? Support me, even if I don't offer anything people value.
The world of content delivery and ownership, as well as the way we are able to evaluate and purchase it are changing rapidly - I hope that at the end of the day, there are far more direct relationships between creativity and value, without the middlemen between.
