This is interesting and I believe in a way ideal (or idealistic?) but I still can't reconcile the fact that creators, writers and musician need some way to pay the bills and their way of life. Are they supposed to depend on the good faith of consumers to give them value?

That said I still haven't heard the podcast and I believe there's still a lot to dig down this rabbit hole. I know some musicians and writers and I can see the retribution model we're using for those professions is broken.
