I kind of disagree with this.
There may be less people making music when money is their main motivator. But there will still be people making music.
Maybe we will lose low effort artists but gain great music by passionate people.
I’m not a musician, but these protests are going to be completely ineffective.
Exactly.
Yes, when you are not trying from time to time to make something - digital art, music, software, - you might feel as if this opinion were valid.
When you are trying, eventually you gain understanding. Specifically that you have far more time to do what you want if you get paid for that.
Though I haven't ever sold an intellectual work. Using my vacations and weekends for these things. But I perfectly understand people who are, eh, trying to do more than toying around once half a year.
