I wrote a new essay about how and why it’s so difficult to pay artists.

I’ll be honest: this was a hard essay to write. I started it six months ago, and after 4,000 rambling words, gave it up. It was too depressing.

But I wanted to share, especially in light of all these new tools that are trying to monetize creative work. A map of some of the difficulties might be helpful.
