I find the backlash to platforms experimenting with new ways for digital artists to earn money for their work to be fascinating.

If price per work is high, artists like it but the potential market of customers is significantly smaller, especially in a bear market.

If price per work is low, artists don't like it but the potential market of customers is significantly larger, even despite a bear market.

If 2021 NFT mania was an anomaly, then clearly the internet-native approach is lower price, larger market. But emotionally, that feels bad.

Wonder how you bridge that.

I’m biased as a musician in terms of unit economics of creative production, but I don’t think price per work matters.

It always grinds down towards zero when your distribution medium is digital.

Only thing that matters is how reliably you can pay bills without taking time away from the practice.
