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.

Artists need business acumen and a decent amount of self-awareness to identify the different use cases.

I try telling my artist friends that they need to think of it like a business and learn all that they can. They never do and I hear the same complaints over and over again to the point I just sort of stopped bothering. The UK is RIFE with grants for public work it's crazy, but they never get a single crumb of it
