Re: Value for Value
It has its place, particularly on the internet for things that are highly abundant, such as text, video and sound. It doesent work in the grocery store because the grocery store is selling finite things.
Imagine if you could just walk into the grocery store and fill up a cart and then pay whatever you wanted at the checkout where nothing is the default. Probably wont work for long.
But when it comes to music, pictures, video and so on. You can recreate for it for almost free digitally, so this is where the value for value model comes in. Maybe you have 20,000 people listening or otherwise consuming your content but it costs you almost nothing to provide it to them digitally. So you can provide it for free and rely on the maybe small percentage of people that decide to donate and still end up making money. Sorry just felt like trying to clear that up. Have a nice day.
Yes, I think we will return to patronage-funded art
