It’s “a” solution but not a “helpful” or “realistic” solution.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, because your comment succinctly highlights the issues and is correct.

It doesn't highlight any issues. It effectively just says "you are wrong". It doesn't really add anything to the discussion.

It highlights the issue that the suggested solution is a theoretic or academic solution which we theorize might work out some day, but is not currently a realistic solution for the need to provide food for artists to eat so that they could remain alive.

The fact that you disagree with the explanation due to ideological purity reasons is not grounds for downvoting it.

1) I didn't downvote it (I literally can't)

2) There are other good reasons to downvote it, such as what I linked.

I'm failing to understand how you could have read what I wrote and come to the conclusion I didn't suggest that, given that I literally said it was not realistic.

Well, that's your opinion. I believe I highlighted the main issues with your suggestion, and added exactly the same helpfulness to the discussion as an assertion that artists should rely on patrons to send them cryptocurrency to support themselves.

It still isn't a solution any way you cut it and in any case, hence the keyword 'absolutely'

It's a payment system that allows adult content.
