6 sats \ 2 replies \ @SimpleStacker 5 Dec \ on: Articles about the Economic Value of Music have no Economic Value-Change my mind BooksAndArticles
Someone gave you 1,000 sats for this post. Does that change your mind?
as i mention here, i don't agree that digitized things have no value. the point of the post is satire.
i think the argument that individual songs don't have value is absurd, too. the fact that amplified music is ubiquitous and individuals may not have to afford music has more to do with the fact that they are freeloaders to the entertainment environment (somebody else paid for the music they're listening to) than it has to do with the actual value of the music itself.
i do not dispute the suggestion that some songs are worthless (consider the case of "muzak" or so much of the LLM music that has been flooding the zeitgeist)
