People want to pay for art they like. That remains true. And it's how people with Patreon and large, niche, fanbases work. Sci Show is free to watch on YouTube, and yet it has Patreons.

If ONLY the true fans ever pay you anything -- 98% listen once, go "meh" and forget about you, 2% go "FUCK YEAH" and tip whatever they can afford -- you may have a more authentic and enthusiastic fandom but you end up poorer A *lot* poorer

Now, yes, this was unsustainable most likely Consumers fucking hated it, they ended up actually winning a class-action suit over it Nobody liked paying the "regret purchase tax" to be "involved in fandom" But like most taxes, once it's gone the budget falls apart

That's the old model. It sucked. The new model is awesome. I can get my streaming service of choice to play me music it thinks I'll like, and if I do I can buy the album to make sure more of it happens in the future. Why your model is better is beyond me.
