 @BobsonDugnuttHB @BunnygirlAbductor we’re never going to get a sponsor. And we’re never going to silence the people who yell grifter. We simply have to sell people stuff and be ‘unscrupulous’ about it. We have to be capitalist gang and make money off da moobment.
The infrastructure is the hardest part, because we have to be able to put a check in someone’s mailbox forever. No one will quit their job if they think they’re going to be permanently out of income after a couple years because the platform collapsed and they’re doxed. If they have to live off $2000/month, I bet more people would be okay with that than you think, but they would have to be sure that they would get a check each month without fail, as long as they produced. That means proving demand is there, professionalism in the quality of the product, the ability to keep people on payroll, and finally the ability to receive money from our customers. Honestly, we would have to develop our own platform. Either based on cash or crypto. We would probably need a crypto platform that a 95IQ could use, and would, also, exist forever. It’d have to be an unassailable link in the chain, probably based on XMR. We also may have to eat losses for the purpose of security. The hope is, there’s a huge market out there, and people would pay for something, and we could set up a marketplace to use the money to make it more resilient.
My hope is we could professionalize artists into full-time dissident artists, put a lot of money in our pocket that could be used for other stuff, and build the infrastructure that other people could use, and it would be INSANELY profitable. 
 I think a lot of this could be circumvented by not making EXPLICIT rw art
