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.

IRL most artists make livings through a lot of different manners, that should be no different than on the Internet 

What artists struggle with is narrative and that is hard to do when attention from the timeline is fickle
