yeah sure, even with companies, the owner of the company gets all the output that many people helped produce; but typically, a worker would get at least $5k /month as wages instead, depending on where you live of course (cost of living), but sth like that.

now, show me one small artist on the internet who makes $5k /month from commissions. meanwhile big studios make millions. my point is, income is even more unequally spread for artists than it is for factory workers.

so i don't really think of the "art market" as especially keep-worthy to sustain the livelyhood of small artists, because that's not really a way to make a livelyhood to begin with.
