Just skimmed over the discussion you mentioned within your other post
and this one really made me LOL:
"Content creators would need to find new ways to monetise their
creations (should they feel the need to do so), but the human desire to
create will never go away."
Well, many years ago I was a professional musician (bass player within a
punk-rock band) and surely we managed it to live only from sex, drugs &
rock'n'roll. No need to buy gas for the tour van, no need to buy new
strings and especially no need to eat sometimes a burger.
This sentence reminds me of the cliche that an artist should be poor and
starving to create "true" art. Sure, and this kind of attitude makes me
sick.
