This essentially boils down to big business wanting all the reward without any of the risk - they've turned artists into their own self-promoters so even when artists are new, they already have a stable audience to sell to, at the expense of the artist of course
Edit: ... at some point you might as well self-publish too, but that brings its own damn problems
Systems like this get constructed, and then folks wonder why society is getting more narcissistic and sociopathic.
Interesting. Two things come to mind immediately:
But hey, this is era where everyone is “CEO / Founder / Entrepreneur “ the moment they online, so I suppose it’s to be expected.
While you might write a few hundred lines of code and publish it, because it was fun to write and might help other people, the next guy is going to try leverage that into his start up so he can larp at being CEO.
Every has the tools to do it now. They carry them in their pocket .
The lacking resource is time. Everyone has the tools, but only the privileged have enough time to do social media full time.

That's why my code is AGPL. Someone else using it doesn't hurt me :)
What's the difference between AGPL and normal GPL? My code is under GPL and now I'm wondering if I should switch.
in short, AGPL means that if someone takes your software and serves it as a webservice, technically not "distributing" it, they still have to share its source.
And my parents wonder why I left the music business. And why I can't find a job in engineering...
That was a pretty well-written and sourced article, worth a read imo
Oof. That hits home.
Not everyone. I admit I am very boring, don't you dare follow me. Or do, I really don't care.
Very clever subversive organic marketing you're doing there!
Jk lol
This just confirms for me that all the MBAs and executives are completely bias in their decision making. Call it recency bias, exposure bias, they only remember what they heard of being "news" worthy in the company. These "sales" tactics gets your name out there and the bias takes hold accept that self promotion.
Can't wait for AI to come in and answer the question, "if weekly summary report can be automated from emails, which team lead should I put in the PM position, so the project doesn't get fucked up". Oh man, we can do away with so many executive positions.
