Re this from @jasonkoebler, two things:
First, as a pianist and composer who fights tooth and nail to keep his music alive through the maelstrom of life, despite zero (or negative) economic benefit, I’d just like my “fuck you, Mikey Shulman” on the record. Thanks.
Second, “enjoy” is the wrong word. Capitalist techbro just can’t imagine music having any purpose other than pleasure or consumption, to be maximized (obviously).
People create music/art because the creative process gives them life — even when that process is frustrating, laborious, maddening, or just •hard work•.
And people enjoy engaging deeply with music/art because of that sense that it has a creator and the creation process gave that person life, life they can now share in experiencing that art.

@inthehands Funny, you're describing how I enjoy working in tech!
