Rulers have given stipends to artists and scholars for hundreds of years. There's hardly anything new about it.

Make the art or science that satisfies the duke or the glorious district chairman and you will be on the receiving end of these benefits.

Also, among names who did succeed in pursuing these benefits, there are countless forgotten ones who also tried.

Almost like startups and youtube streamers of today, who would have thought.
