Dont Try to Make Money off Music

There is a very clear trend not just in music but in all human pursuits that one must justify their activities based on how much money that activity generates. This hits really weird in the arts. There is pressure all around us as musicians to "rise to the top" or out compete other musicians. It's an extremely odd idea to make self expression competitive and its my belief that a mind that is captured by this messaging is going to be incentivized to make bad compromises to their music in order to gain advantages. These compromises could come in the form of dulling down creative decisions to make the music more homogenous and easy to digest, removing any semblance of originality and thus potentially removing the joy of creation in the first place. You are enough and your art is enough no matter how weird it is.
