    There’s no downside for consumers, sucks if you are making art for an oversaturated market.

    But that’s why artists should get a UBI

      When I am supreme overlord, artists will get free food and housing. But like, it’s gonna suck really bad because tortured artists make the best art.

      No not UBI, but universal necessities to live. ie food water electricity housing healthcare and for all people not just artists.

      UBI is a bandaid solution where money is taken from the government and given to corporations when governments should supply those necessities itself.

        I think it’s more efficient if people get a few hundred dollar boost every week to spend when and wherever they please, rather then stand in line and receive whatever obtuse handout the government has decided they deserve.

        Uni has nothing to do with corporations though?

        It’s everyone getting enough money to live comfortably
