> Music is culture and important. Yes, it is important to be paid for your music, but it is more important for music to be heard.

If artists aren't paid for making art, much less art is created. So if music is important to you, you can't just ignore the question of how to pay for it.

It's nice to say "let's make art, not money", great soundbite, but artists are people just like everyone else, who deserve to be compensated for their work. And who can't live without having money to buy food.

I have worked in the music industry for a short time. Most people who claim they are artists, are not.

Let‘s talk about this differently. The impact of real art is way more important than a few plastic pseudo-art creating „i am special“ people not making money to live a life as an „artist“ / influencer on instagram… Buuut: anyway.
