Do you think we'll ever reach a point where this type of V4V pays better than advertisers?
Absolutely, really it just takes one great artist who goes V4V only will do it and lead the charge
There is a list somewhere of mega artists doing V4V. Aren't ColdPlay known for a free album? Random thoughts: It's easy for wealthy to implement it now and again. It's up to us little people to lead though. It used to be called community spirit. A mentor of mine lived by the maxim, "Work the same for a penny as a pound" I used to watch Star Trek. Everyone likes to mention the prescience of their "mobile phones" but more interesting is that money wasn't a thing. Perfect abundance.
