      I wish everyone who talked and talked about publishing, music, etc were willing to grapple with a couple simple facts about simple numbers: 1) "Content creators" don't make very much money now 2) They used to make a lot more money than they dohttps://twitter.com/TrevinWax/status/1303761349374283776 …

      That's the actual relevant lens for talking about technology and money and law and all this shit And people trying to deflect from the issues tend to obscure this simple fact REALLY HARD, coming in hot with takes like "Nobody EVER made ANY money writing books, it's a LIE"

      Or the reverse take, "Anyone whose books are actually GOOD will ALWAYS make money SOMEHOW" Like this incredibly acrobatic dance between these two wildly contradictory extremes to just pretend like the Internet, itself, somehow has had no effect on anything whatsoever

      To me the truth is fairly obvious if you look at the numbers and if you look at anecdotal evidence Writing stuff for a living used to be a decent middle-class job and it's sliding over the years to being a shitty working-class job Same thing happening to all kinds of other jobs

          Why? Well you can put a name to the general phenomenon (globalization, commoditization, etc.) and blame all kinds of things but the obvious reason is the Internet It's always a big complicated thing but the immediate proximate cause is technological change

          And it's just kind of funny that the psychological barrier to admitting this is so strong People are so locked into the consumer POV "But the Internet is *good* because it gives me access to so many things I want without my having to pay money for them" I mean yeah

          Back when you used to have to pay for a lot more stuff, that money didn't just get set on fire, other people had it, and they also used that money for things like buying houses and shit It's how the whole economy works

          Replying to @arthur_affect @mcjulie

          It’s been the same in many other creative fields - music sales plummeted since music became effectively free online, so many second and third-tier musicians who used to make a middle class income from record sales can’t anymore. (Only superstars make a lot of money from touring.)
