I think you gotta connect the dots with UBI here. You wouldn't have to monetize if you didn't have to monetize.

While I agree with this take on UBI. There are middle grounds to explore.

The streaming and game services seems to point at monthly subscription fee from an aggregator as a working model. Not sure how they distribute royalties though, I suspect there are many models I won’t agree with based on what they incentivize.

Then there are the Kickstarter/patreon. Where money is given more in support than for a specific product. This is more like the UBI approach.

I think there is room for a hybrid approach here, merging the two.

I'm keeping my eye on a few people, like Abbadon who makes "Kill Six Billion Demons" and Andrew Kelley the creator of Zig.

But really I think we need a major reconfiguration of our global economic structure.
