It's all about the merch! Which makes me feel slightly ill, as an avid concert goer. But I guess that does have some similarities.
Interesting thought here, a la nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqlslwn6kpyfkj3xp3zk6jd2epur5gjdeawklnsh9nd498xy50ezdq4r5mw3 (nprofile…5mw3) from long ago about monetization of art. One of the tangential effects of the commodification of art as a means of existing. (Living under capitalism) Bad actors can game the system as "artists" of misinformation that sell merch.
It's a natural outcome of the discussions we were having back then, if musicians couldn't sell their art? The intrinsic cost of digital music approaching zero. Not zero value, but zero marginal cost. Musicians especially were challenged to find ways to continue making money. They sell the experience. The live events. The merch. (Which I love)
Now that it's normal to think that of course artists have to sell something to stay alive! Who doesn't? No one lives for free! (Not in America)
It is deeply weird to be raising children right now. These are not conversations I thought I'd be having, at least not the way I'm having them.
It is possible to have a society where no one struggles just to live. Just to have basic dignity. To get whatever health care they need or want.
