actually know this.

What happens, what happens when like, what happens when like the art sort of goes, like,

loses value?

What if it's like Spotify?

What if you're, like, art that you previously sold for whatever amount?

Instead, you're like, oh, this has so many, you know, however many, like, rents, and

therefore this is the percentage they're going to give you of that.

Because- Oh, my God. If then, if they're not doing that business model, then- rents and therefore this is the percentage we're going to give you of that because if my god if then

if they're not doing that business model then the more successful startup that eats them will right

i've just seen there's like a painting on here which you can buy for four hundred dollars right now

that's a that's a cheap fucking painting in art world terms, like really fucking cheap.

And it rents for $38 a month, which means that the annual yield on that investment is like 100%.

This is great. And of course, because it's an art startup, this isn't fucking regulated in any way that might...

It would be cheaper to buy that on a credit card and pay the credit card interest rate on the annual payments than it is to rent there.

Great. But like, what if you change your mind? That's the prerogative you're paying for.

Yeah. Because you can't fucking sell art ever. You have to use the service instead.

That's right. No one has ever sold art and certainly not for a profit.

And also I think Alice is right in the sense of like even if like you were to sort of make

this business model work, it kind of just follows the same line as like every other type of

platform or every type of tech company that has tried to sort of like engulf creators or

artists in their space right

which is like ultimately the creators like earn very very little out of like the settlement
