@WelshPixie@mastodon.social It's because artists get treated like shit in this capitalist society. It's like "oh a person who wants to use their hard-earned talent and dedication to better humanity? Nah, let's not pay them anything and discourage them at every possible moment. When they break and succumb to our system, let's force them to create intellectual property we can profit off of en-masse!" UBI would instantly give us more art in this world. We will support artists since the system won't!
