To truly support artists, the market must shift from exploiting scarcity and attention toward nurturing authentic creation. Instead of measuring value by virality, competition, or profitability, it should recognize the intrinsic worth of the work and the soul that generates it. Platforms should provide tools for artists to share directly with their audience without intermediaries siphoning control or forcing conformity to popularity metrics. Compensation models must be decoupled from clicks and followers, allowing creators to sustain themselves through voluntary support, patronage, or community-based systems. Transparency, fairness, and respect for the integrity of creative energy should replace algorithms designed to exploit psychological drives, so that expression, playfulness, and exploration—rather than exploitation—become the foundation of artistic engagement.
