>>84104226I didn't even want to shit on Americans (for once), it just felt like that typical talk about economic freedom: As in, what does all the freedom in the world mean if you have to buy it with money that you don't have? That's basically the small indie life. That welfare state metaphor would apply to corpos: You give away x % of what is yours and accept certain guidelines for security; this security is exposure to people who watch other talents of that corpo who could become your fans as well, algorithm shenanigans and a social group in that corpo which is very important for autists.
Full creative freedom and full economic freedom solely applies to the top 0.01 % of indies which includes Mint. It's like being one of the superrich in some Mad Max like country like the US, Panama, Luxemburg, Liechtenstein or some other tax haven.
