I think we all lose out a bit by leaving creators to become an entire all-in-one production/distribution house by themselves with minimal support available.

On a related note: I’ve always believed it is fundamentally wrong that humans who’ve achieved professional-level skills in an art form are structurally coerced into selling the best hours of their day to “earn a living” instead of using that time for their own creative work. 

That's a huge collective loss to everyone who appreciates art, writing, music, etc.

you would enjoy reading “Jonas (or the artist at work)” by albert camus, short story you can digest in one sitting

Noted. Thanks for the rec. My reading habits are like 99% non-fiction and I haven't read anything by Camus in a long, long time.
