Even though many artists find this distasteful, it’s true: creating art for other people is just providing a good or service (depending on the nature of the contract).
Just like the rest of us, artists have to make a profit if they want to be successful providing the good or service.
It’s difficult for some to themselves admit that their art has monetary value. Some don’t care at all, and are happy to enjoy their hobby and that’s perfectly ok too. But for those who see their art as their craft and treat it like a business, they are already trying to find ways to generate revenue from it. If they can do so here, they will stay. If they can’t, they’ll leave it at least not give nostr any priority. You don’t setup a coffee shop in the middle of nowhere where you’ll only get one or two customers. You build where you are able to grow and attract customers/audience/etc.
