   I firmly believe that the need to earn money from creative endeavours has an inevitable destructive impact on creativity itself.

     @Stoori Not to mention that, historically, many artists, scientists, and philosophers have been from wealthy families and could afford to spend time pursuing these things. It’s inherently classist to make the arts into a luxury which only the rich can afford.

     @XanIndigo yeah. and also grants that you need to apply are also problematic, because they add unnecessary bureaucracy and artificial time constraints and bullshit requirements to fulfill and other such stressful stuff that also eat on creativity.

     ubi now!

     @Stoori This is absolutely why I’ll always support universal basic income. It would be nice to see a world where people could pursue creative endeavours without needing a “day job” purely to survive.

     @XanIndigo yeah, and that's why 1) sales are a bad measure of quality, because that will only lead to endless grinding and monotonous creations, 2) we need universal basic income so that creative people can create without the need to earn their living by being creative

     It’s no coincidence that some of the best creators are those who manage to achieve enough notoriety and support that they can have a chaotic and unpredictable schedule. But not everyone has that kind of freedom.

     So many times I’ve seen online creators in particular who’ve fallen victim to burnout because their lives are full of pressure and deadlines imposed by sponsors and algorithms. And their work always suffers for it.
