      Haven't what? Supported you and your work? Your friends work? If that's the case I hate to break it to you but instead of blaming pirates maybe your work wasn't good enough to make some ok me go out of their way to support you.

      If you're talking about the independent scene then how can you explain indiegogo campaigns or things like CyberFrog? How do you explain musical acts directly distributing through streaming and seeing more revenue without their labels taking a cut?

      Not every NBA player is LeBron James. It might suck to hear but not every professional is going to create works that appeal to a mass audience. It isn't the same as git gud, but don't pretend like just because someone works hard at art, that they're going to get an audience.

      There is no profession in our capitalist world where you don't hustle and grind but the less of an expectation an industry has for a baseline required compensation for labor the worse that grind becomes

      Like, shit, imagine if NBA teams didn't actually pay their players salaries and instead they had to raise money directly from their fans with an NBA Patreon LeBron James would still be rich as fuck but all the random "no-name" players made nothing

      Could the NBA even exist under those conditions? Would you be able to fill up a team roster? Would it be "worth it" if this business model meant you no longer had to charge money for tickets and the games themselves were now more "accessible" to fans

      Way to miss the analogy. Not every basketball player is good enough to be LeBron James. Some Don't make the NBA at all. Yes the piracy might have a small effect on you, but I would never assume it's the difference between an all star and a bench warmer. Same with art.

      You may think all authors and artists and musicians are all equally good at what they do, but when there are so many options people aren't going to settle for average. That plays a role much more than piracy ever will, IMO.

      I don't think all prices in this market should be set as equal by fiat, but I do think people should be able to *set prices* rather than, essentially, begging for donations

      I am not taking the strawman position that the latter model is impossible or that no one can ever get rich on it I am taking the position that a business model that looks like that always has much greater inequality and focus on just a few star performers than "traditional" ones
