Creatives are constantly told there's so little demand for our work they can't employ or pay us, but they turn around and invent ways of harvesting our work to get it for free so they can make even more money without us. There's demand, and money, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.
I like how every day I wake up and publishing says "books are worthless, you're worthless, we're putting all manuscripts into a shredder and firing our staff" and my brain scabs over and I go "time to write :)"
A bunch of fucking liars and thieves. Artists going to the hospital or dying trying to work enough to meet their demands and then getting nothing but their names scraped off what they make and all their earnings stolen.
Exactly. There's a reason they've spent... all of time... Trying to convince us that our work had no value. It has tremendous value, and they just don't want us believing it.
