I'm not scared of them getting a preview. It really is going to be a global village where a billion people have access to one artist and a billion people can leave a tip if they want to. It's a radical democratization. Every artist has access to every fan and every fan has access to every artist, and the people who direct fans to those artists. People that give advice and technical value are the people we need.
People crowding the distribution pipe and trying to ignore fans and artists have no value.
This is a perfect system. The meme may be out of control now, but I hope not, because we have to stop it. We need a new conversation about value and compensation. And we have to watch our metaphors. Tipping is a terrible metaphor.
